Overview

Python scripts for generating Cisco MDS/NX-OS SAN zone config snippets based on existing UCS Service Profiles. The script will connect to a UCS domain to gather the necessary host side data (name and vHBA info).

Fabric parameters are set through a static configuration file (YAML). This includes VSAN ID and targets.

The zone template uses single-initiator, single-target zoning.

Usage

• Activate a clean virtual environment.

• Load the required packages with pip.

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Create a fabric configuration file.

    # Example fabric.yaml
    ---
    A:
      vsan_id: 1001
      target_aliases:
        - xio-c1_x1-sc1-fc1
        - xio-c1_x1-sc2-fc1
        - xio-c1_x2-sc1-fc1
        - xio-c1_x2-sc2-fc1
  
    B:
      vsan_id: 1002
      target_aliases:
        - xio-c1_x1-sc1-fc2
        - xio-c1_x1-sc2-fc2
        - xio-c1_x2-sc1-fc2
        - xio-c1_x2-sc2-fc2
  

• Generate the zones by running the ucszonebuild.py script.

    usage: ucszonebuild.py [-h] fabric_cfg ucs_domain username
  
    positional arguments:
      fabric_cfg  Path to fabric config YAML file
      ucs_domain  UCS Manager Host/IP
      username    UCSM User Account (for AD use 'ucs-<DOMAIN>\<USER>')
  
    optional arguments:
      -h, --help  show this help message and exit
