Need to reboot ports to factory default after assigning vport to test port

[ThakkarJignesh]

Hi,
I have a config file, which has certain ports. If I load that config file, during the assignment, the port goes for a reboot and come up online [green]. No issues! Now, If I do the same activity on the same port via RES, then port remains down [red]. To bring up the port, I have to explicitly issue the port reboot to factory default. Below is the code snapshot.

#######################################
import sys, os, time, traceback
import linecache
from ixnetwork_restpy.testplatform.testplatform import TestPlatform
from ixnetwork_restpy.assistants.statistics.statviewassistant import StatViewAssistant
platform = 'windows'
apiServerPort = 11009
apiServerIp = '172.22.202.213'
forceTakePortOwnership = True
ixChassisIpList = ['10.195.151.238']
portList = [[ixChassisIpList[0], 8,14],[ixChassisIpList[0], 8,1]]
testPorts = []
testPlatform = TestPlatform(ip_address=apiServerIp, rest_port=apiServerPort, platform=platform, log_file_name='restpy.log')
session = testPlatform.Sessions.add()
ixNetwork = session.Ixnetwork
ixNetwork.NewConfig()

Port_8_14 = ixNetwork.Vport.add(Name='Port_8_14')
Port_8_1 = ixNetwork.Vport.add(Name='Port_8_1')
vportList = [vport.href for vport in ixNetwork.Vport.find()]

for port in portList:
testPorts.append(dict(Arg1=port[0], Arg2=port[1], Arg3=port[2]))

hrefvport1 = ixNetwork.AssignPorts(testPorts, [], vportList, forceTakePortOwnership)

After the above step, port reboots and remains down. I have to use the below steps to bring up the ports online. Is there anything which I'm doing wrong? Any known issues?

Port_8_14.ResetPortCpuAndFactoryDefault()
Port_8_1.ResetPortCpuAndFactoryDefault()

There is a difference between the code paths.
Loading an ixncfg file does not restore via the automation API but uses the settings from Preferences->PortManagement to connect, reboot ports.
When using the automation API the AssignPorts will automatically connect the vport to a hardware port but the additional step to reboot is not included as part of the method.
Your approach is correct.
