OneView Global Dashboard

[BradV]

Because our systems are in different geographic locations, I recently added a second OneView instance.  On 24 Dec, I added a Global Dashboard device to see both instances in one location.  I added our internal CA certificate and connected both OneView instances.  This morning, when I came in and logged in to the Global Dashboard, it showed nothing.  I went to the dashboard tasks and saw an error related to the CA certificate dated 11 Dec - 13 days before I even installed the device?  The recommended actions is re-import the certificate under Settings -> Security -> Manage certificates.  There is no "Security" option under settings.  What happened to my settings?  I already had the root certificate in and had connected both OneView instances.  Why is the date so wrong?  Why is the recommended action pointing to a non-existent path?  Is this going to keep happening eveytime I set it up?

My goof.  Apparently while floating around in the Caribbean, I forgot that I had installed a global dashboard, but had not set it up. 

However, my statement about the recommended action still applies.  It is incorrect.  The global dashboard I installed on 24 Dec is still there and working.

Thanks for this feedback! 

it's probably obvious that the message is a result of the common base software used by OneView and OneView Global Dashboard. We will be looking at how to resolve the issue.

Hi Bruce,

Another item that needs fixed is getting the API current version.  For OneView, I use: 

# Get API current version:
currentVersion=$(curl --insecure --header "accept: application/json" --request GET ${OneView}/rest/version | jq -r ".currentVersion")

So, I tried the same code with global dashboard.  I got back 1200 and that sounded correct.  Attempted to use that, but it did not.  Not until after reading the documentation some more did I learn I should just set the global dashboard API version to 2.  The same API code should work to get the correctly supported version.

You're right. The API should be providing the version. I've filed a product defect for the issue. Thanks!
