Error running UCS Asbuilt

[sanjeshkishore]

I am getting an error when running UCS As Built. No issues with VMware As Built. Error below:

New-AsBuiltReport : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Name' because it is an empty string.
At line:1 char:1

• New-AsBuiltReport -Report Cisco.UCSManager -Target 172.16.16.70

Hi @sanjeshkishore,

Could you please provide me with some more information. Does the script execute and then fail with an error or are you unable to execute at all?

Do you have the Cisco UCS PowerTool cmdlets and the AsBuiltReport.Cisco.UcsManager module installed?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for getting back quickly. Yes script starts to run and I can see it starts to collect info from the UCS but fails when it tries to dump it into the file. I tried to update with older module, which had different command syntax (-Type UCS vs -Report Cisco.UCSManager). Now its not running at all. I may need to clean it out and install again. I had UCS PowerTool installed.
