My apologies if I missed any pertinent information. It may not matter but I also need to take into account that chassis and slots can number in the triple digits.Īny ideas on how to go about the above in Python? Once I got past the first chassis and tried to increment to chassis-2 the script would just pause indefinitely. For example, each chassis can hold up to 8 server blades (slot) but not all chassis have all 8 installed. That did not work because the number of chassis and the number of blades in each chassis is not always the same. I attempted to just increment chassis-1 to chassis-2 -3 -4 and so on and slot-1 to slot-2 -3 -4. The UCS stores firmware for blades in 'sys/chassis-N/slot-N/mgmt/fw-system' where N is the number of the chassis and slot. Molist1 = handle.GetManagedObject(None, ComputeBlade.ClassId()) molist = handle.GetManagedObject(None, EquipmentChassis.ClassId()) I can only get the blade and chassis model number as referenced on lines 124 and 133 as shown below. The 'sys/mgmt/fw-system' is where I get confused when trying to get the firmware version. Looking at line 46 of my script linked above, it shows this code: molist = handle.GetManagedObject(None, None, I attempted using the same method for pulling the Blade Chassis and Blade Servers name, model and firmware but that is where things get more difficult for this newbie. My script displays results similar to this: UCS Manager Version: 2.2(3f)Īs shown above, I have successfully retrieved the firmware versions for the Fabric Interconnects and UCS Manager. So, using the SDK provided by Cisco and a big chunk of the script linked above, my script is able to log into our UCS and query A and B Fabric Interconnects, the UCS manager and get both the model and firmware versions. I simply want to pull the Name, Model and Firmware version for each of the server blades, chassis and fabric interconnects. Script referenced from Cisco dev site: <- this is where the majority of the code in my script came from, major props to Sreenivas. Below are links for clarification of what a UCS is and the UCS Python SDK. After discovering that Cisco provides a Python SDK to query UCS I used that as my starting point. So, one of the many projects I have taken up is to pull firmware information from our Cisco UCS environments.

I have been working to train myself in the greatness that is Python and one of the best ways for me to learn is by doing.
