Get switch ports details for Uplinks

[Gnome-IT]

I tried to retrieve the information on the Switch networks where the uplink of the virtual connection of our Synergy. Unfortunately, the information does not come up with the following script, someone could help me?
The idea also of having SAN information

# Retrieve information about all interconnects

$interconnects = Get-OVInterconnect

# Loop through each interconnect and retrieve port information

foreach ($interconnect in $interconnects) {

    # Retrieve ports for the current interconnect

    $ports = Send-OVRequest -Uri "$($interconnect.uri)/ports" -Session $ovSession

    # Output port information

    foreach ($port in $ports.members) {

        Write-Host "Interconnect Name: $($interconnect.name)"

        Write-Host "Port Name: $($port.portName)"

        Write-Host "Enabled: $($port.enabled)"

        Write-Host "Port Status: $($port.status)"

        Write-Host "Port Type: $($port.portType)"

        Write-Host "Connected To: $($port.connectedTo)"

        Write-Host "-----------------------------"

    }

}

Hello,

Please refer to the document "HPE OneView 8.9 API Reference for HPE Synergy" and see if it helps.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the API documentation, unfortunately not able to find the way to get switch details.

Hello,

I issued the GET call to "/rest/interconnects/<id>/ports" in a lab environment I have access to. There is a section in the json output in the "neighbor" section where I can see this is part of the details:

"remotePortDescription": "FortyGigE1/0/50 Interface",
"remotePortId": "FortyGigE1/0/50",
"remotePortIdType": "interfaceName",
"remoteSystemCapabilities": "Bridge, Router",
"remoteSystemDescription": "HPE Comware Platform Software, Software Version 7.1.070, Release 2612P08-US\r\nHPE FF 5940 48SFP+ 6QSFP+ Switch\r\nCopyright (c) 2010-2020 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP",

It seems that if LLDP is enabled on the TOR, you should be able to get similar output.

FYI...I did not include any of the other details above that would be identifying (MAC, name, etc.) for the switch, but you should be able to see the same type of info in your environment.

you are right, just I was about to notify you that I got it.
do you know how to get details from SAN switches?

Also from the GUI interface, I'm able to see Q3:1 connected but details are not retrieved, it can be an LLDP issue?

Hello,

The same GET call should work to get details from SAN switches connected to ports using FCoE and native FC. I was able to test this on the FCoE ports, but I do not have a system available with a VC FC module to test against, but the same command should work. This will likely not work on non managed interconnects (Brocade switch).

My problem is that I can't figure out how to match the logic functions 'b' of the converging cards with their respective 'Uplink'.
