How can I acknowledge a pending reboot in UCS Central with PowerTool?

[Alan N]

In the past I have been able to acknowledge reboots for blades in a domain with:

Get-UcsServiceProfile "xxx" | Get-UcsLsmaintAck | Set-UcsLsmaintAck -AdminState "trigger-immediate" -Force

But when I try to use it with the ucs central commands for a ucs central profile it doesn't work.  It acts like it works with no error but it never is acknowledged.

Get-UcsCentralServiceProfile "xxx" | Get-UcsCentralLsmaintAck | Set-UcsCentralLsmaintAck -AdminState "trigger-immediate" -Force

Running Get-UcsCentralServiceProfile does show the AdminState changed but nothing happens.

Hi Alan,

I wrote this about a year ago (so several PowerTool versions ago so they might be a dedicated cmdlet now).  Give it a shot.

            Get-UcsCentralComputeRequirement -Name <global service profile> | Get-UcsCentralComputeInstance | Get-UcsCentralLsmaintAck | Set-UcsCentralLsmaintAck -AdminState "trigger-immediate" -Force

This is working in UCS central. Thank you very much.
