UCS XML API - clarification on values

[murugapandian]

Hey folks,

I look through the XML API used to query the UCS manager. Where can I get the possible values of a particular attribute?

Let me rephrase,

Consider I am querying for 'equipmentChassis' with <configResolveClass cookie="cookie" response="yes" classId="equipmentChassis">

I got a value as follows

<equipmentChassis adminState="acknowledged"  configState="ok" connPath="A,B" connStatus="A,B" dn="sys/chassis-1" fabricEpDn="fabric/server/chassis-1" fltAggr="0" fsmDescr="" fsmPrev="nop" fsmProgr="100" fsmRmtInvErrCode="none" fsmRmtInvErrDescr="" fsmRmtInvRslt="" fsmStageDescr="" fsmStamp="never" fsmStatus="nop" fsmTry="0" id="1" lcTs="1970-01-01T01:00:00.000" licState="license-ok" managingInst="A" model="N20-C6508" operQualifier="" operState="operable" operability="operable" power="ok" presence="unknown" revision="0"  serial="1"  thermal="unknown" vendor="Cisco Systems Inc" versionHolder="yes"/>

Lets take the attribute licState, we got a value 'license-ok', what are all the possible values I can get in that place? Do Cisco provide any key guides for this? I searched, I am sorry I might have missed something.

Thanks

Hi Ramaiah,

If you have a Cisco UCS simulator, then on its web interface we have a link to API documentation where you can check for such values.

I too have recently started looking into the APIs.

There are a few options here that occur to me:

Go to either the web interface of one of your UCSMs or the emulator with something like:

   http:///visore.html  or https:///visore.html

traverse the objects or search for what you want and follow the '?' link to the right of the Class name.
