UCS Powertool code snippet to resolve Product Name instead of PID in Model field

[jimstehlik]

Hello All,

I forgotten the code snippet that I need to add to the following line of code so that when I display the model field, it actually display the product name verses the PID.

Get-UcsBlade -Ucs $handleArray | Sort-Object -Property Ucs,ChassisID,SlotID | Select-Object Ucs,ServerId,Name,UsrLbl,Model,AvailableMemory,NumOfCpus,NumOfCores,NumOfCoresEnabled,NumOfThreads,NumOfAdaptors,NumOfEthHostIfs,NumOfFcHostIfs,AssignedToDn,Presence,OperState,Operability,OperPower,Serial

Example of output:

Ucs               : AHC-UCS1

ServerId          : 1/1

Name              : AMGS5260

UsrLbl            : CliniCare dB 10.18.113.108

Model             : N20-B6740-2

AvailableMemory   : 262144

NumOfCpus         : 4

NumOfCores        : 32

NumOfCoresEnabled : 32

NumOfThreads      : 64

NumOfAdaptors     : 2

NumOfEthHostIfs   : 2

NumOfFcHostIfs    : 4

AssignedToDn      : org-root/ls-AllScriptsDatabase1-440

Presence          : equipped

OperState         : ok

Operability       : operable

OperPower         : on

Serial            : FCH161374L6

In the GUI for UCSM, it actually displays Cisco UCS B440 M1, but from the above example, the Model displays the PID.

Thank you,

Jim

You can pipeline that output into get-ucscapability to get the item out of the UCS Capability Catalog via the API.  That's what the GUI does to give you the friendly name.

Eric,

I tried that, but just get erros.  I guess I'm stil not sure of the syntax.  I tired:

Get-UcsBlade -Ucs $handleArray | Sort-Object -Property Ucs,ChassisID,SlotID | Select-Object Ucs,ServerId,Name,UsrLbl,Model,AvailableMemory,NumOfCpus,NumOfCores,NumOfCoresEnabled,NumOfThreads,NumOfAdaptors,NumOfEthHostIfs,NumOfFcHostIfs,AssignedToDn,Presence,OperState,Operability,OperPower,Serial | get-ucscapability

Thanks again,

Jim

The problem on this James is that you are not pipelining an object that the get-ucscapability understands.  When you pipeline into sort or select, it's creating a different object than pipelined in.  You need to pipeline the blade object in this case right into the get-ucscapability.
