Unable to run "ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet" command in PowerGUI

[Thammaya Gupta Kedarasetty]

Hi,

I am trying to use PowerGUI with Cisco UCS Power Tools to create power shell scripts for UCS Automation.

PowerGUI Version: 3.8.0.129

CiscoUCS Power Tools Version:1.3(1).

OS: Windows 7

I have installed the PowerGUI and Cisco UCS Power Tools libraries and was able to connect to UCS server successfully.

However when I tried to run the command "ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet", I am getting the below error:

>ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet

WARNING: Please review the generated cmdlets before deployment.

ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet : Could not find the log files directory

At line:1 char:20

+ ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet <<<<

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet], Exception

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Cisco.Ucs.Cmdlets.ConvertToUcsCmdlet

Appreciate any help in fixing this!

Thanks and Regards,

Thammaya Gupta K.

Have a look at

Java issue: the solution was

Just to confirm my hypothesis, I decided to temporarily rollback to java 7 update 40 and this fixed the problem. The "ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet" cmdlet found the log in the .ucsm directory and properly generated a cmdlet after I made a change in the GUI.

When I then upgraded back to java 7 update 45 the "ConvertTo-UcsCmdlet" broke again.

So for sure this is a java 7 update 45 related problem.

Hi,

It was admin rights problem in my PC. It worked well after getting admin rights.
