Through XML API, can i discover things like Model, Serial, # of chassis?

Here is what is available from the Get-UcsChassis PowerTool command, which uses the common API for pulling data.

Thanks, i think in addition to this, to find out FI model, we can do -

Get-UcsNetworkElement

I kind of found this from another question in the forum. So this helps, thanks. Is there any other way of doing this through API ?

[tcerling]

What are you looking for?  The API remains a constant across the various tools that can be used.  PowerTool is one.  Python can be used.  You can use a high level programming language to call the API.  Cisco publishes the API so customers and partners can write to it.  So could you clarify what you are looking to do?

[pzanwar]

I was looking more for rest api call, but i realize that, that's not supported today. This is good information, thanks for your inputs.

[tcerling]

Ok, that makes sense.  Good suggestion - I'll pass it on.
