Connect-UcsCentral cmdlet fails with the error

Connect-UcsCentral : Connect-UcsCentral: Connection to ucscentral Failed.

At line:1 char:19

+ Connect-UcsCentral <<<<  ucscentral

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Connect-UcsCentral], Exception

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Cisco.UcsCentral.Cmdlets.ConnectUcsCentral

any thoughts why this is generating error? do i need access more than readonly?

[nmohan001]

ok, I found a workaround but still need cisco to tell why it doesn't work. The cmdlet works when used with IP address and doesn't work when a short name or FQDN or alias is used.

Hello,

It seems that, entry is missing in /etc/hosts file for short name or FQDN or alias.

You need to add IP in /etc/hosts file for short name or FQDN or alias.
