Generate PS scripts from OneView

Generate-scripts.PS1 is a PowerShell script that generates PowwerShell code to configure new OneView instances. The script queries an existing OV instance (called 'Master') and based on resources and attributes configured in this instance, it will create scripts that call OV PowerShell library (POSH). Those scripts can then run against new OV instance to re-create the environment.

There are two categories of scripts

  • OV resources - those scripts are used to create OV resources including
    • Ethernet newtorks
    • Network set
    • FC / FCOE networks
    • SAN Manager
    • Storage Systems
    • Storage Volume templates
    • Storage Volumes
    • Logical InterConnect Groups
    • Uplink Sets
    • Enclosure Groups
    • Enclosures
    • Network connections
    • Local Storage connections
    • SAN Storage connections
    • Server Profile Templates
    • Server Profiles * OV settings - the scripts are used to configure OV settings including
    • Firmware SPP
    • Time and locale and NTP servers
    • Address Pools and subnets
    • SMTP
    • SNMP and traps

Syntax

To generate PowerShell scripts

    .\Generate-scripts.ps1     --> You will be prompted for credential and IP address of the master OV appliance
    .\Generate-scripts.ps1 -OVApplianceIP <OV-IP-Address-of-the-master-OV> -OVAdminName <Admin-name> -OVAdminPassword <password> -OVAuthDomain <local or AD-domain>

Scripts will be created under the folder Scripts. One special script is created at the end and it's called all-in-one.ps1. The script gives you the exact sequence of scripts to be executed
