ucs_service_profile_template.py Binding LAN connectivity Policy to Service Profile Template error

[gidami]

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing some issues with binding a LAN connectivity policy to a Service Profile Template when the latter is manually created (GUI). If the ST Profile is created and later updated by the ansible module, then it's all fine.

The full traceback is:
  File "/var/folders/5l/wgnnz5dx703_hnhh30bcpjqh0000gn/T/ansible_OPOGXi/ansible_module_ucs_service_profile_template.py", line 426, in main

Any explanation or suggestion is most appreciated. Thank you.

Hi. I have found that template_type is set to initial-template by the module when not explicitly defined and that does not work well with existing Service Profile Templates set in updating-template.

Once template_type is set to updating-template, then I was able to add the LAN Connectivity Policy to existing Service Profile Template.

Thank you!
