As a follow up from yesterday’s post (UCS PowerShell Health check HTML report) I figured I would post a video demonstrating a UCS configuration script that I just finished.
The video starts with me showing an un-configured UCS cluster, I go through all of the tabs, pools, policies and templates showing that there is no configuration.
Next I bring up the PowerShell script, scroll through it, switch over to UCSM and kick of the script.
After the script completes I go back through UCSM showing all of the pools, policies and templates that the script created. The script also configures the LAN/SAN Port-Channels, VSANs, VLANs and admin settings.
The video is silent and lasts about 7 minutes
Here is a link to the video – Cisco UCS PowerShell configuration video

Nice! Are you sharing the script?
Just posted it to the developer forum – http://developer.cisco.com/web/unifiedcomputing/forums/-/message_boards/view_message/5416309
Thats awesome. It gave me problems at the Network Control Policies. I worked around that one by removing “-MacRegisterMode only-native-vlan”. and also on BIOS policies. I haven’t found the parameter that is causing the error there yet.
Great job though. I plan on turning some of the static entries into variables it will pull from a survey spreadsheet. You saved me a week or two of work.
You might want to look at the following URL for another example of provisioning UCS/NEXUS and NetApp FAS from scratch.

Great work on this. Do you still happen to have this script available?
Looks like Cisco changed their developer forum and files are no longer supported. I copied the scripts to my dropbox – https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i001giq6jx67fl2/GYedBaqAYa
Thank You Jeremy, Happy Holidays

We changed our Authentication Domain to use LDAP natively and the script did not work. I found a post by Brian at enterprise admins dot org showing how to use the locally created account. I modified Jeremy’s script with this info and now it will log in automatically without prompting. Thanks again Jeremy, great script!

It appears the document has been removed for automating UCS/NEXUS and NetApp FAS from scratch, does know were it is or have copy of this example?
