Cloning a specific Version

Always checkout a specific version of this repo and AVOID using master.
git clone https://github.com/datacenter/ucs-browser.git && cd ucs-browser && git checkout 2.7

Running the Script

Before generating the report select option 1) from the root menu and connect to one or more target UCS Domains. Select option 2) from the connection menu to cache the domain credentials and speed up future executions.

Notes for Powertool Core:

The save file dialog relies on .NET and therefore doesn't work on linux based systems. To get around this limitation connect to and cache ucs doman credentials as mentioned above and then exit the script. Next, relaunch the script using the -RunReport, -UseCached and -Silent flags

Ex: .\UCS_Health_Check.ps1 -UseCached -RunReport -Silent -Email [email protected]

Parameters

• UseCached - connects to all domains in the local cache credential file
• RunReport - automatically kicks off a health check report
• Silent - auto-names the report file and exits the script after completing the report
