Power operations reference name

[roostercactus]

Scenario/Intent

While trying to power on (or power off) a blade in oneview what names can we use to reference a blade? So far the only valid "name" that works for me to power on or power off is, for example:

server_hardwares: name: My Blade, bay 5

as returned by oneview_server_hardware_facts.

Is this the only valid reference while performing power operations? I'd like to use something else...maybe uuid, or uri? I've tried several combinations and it only seems to allow 'server_hardwares.name' for powering on or off.

Environment Details

• Module Version: latest master (git clone)
• Ansible Version: 2.6.5
• OneView Appliance Version: 3.10
• OneView Client API Version: 500
• Python Version: 2.7.13
• python-hpOneView SDK Version: 4.7.0
• Platform: OEL 7.5 64-bit (Oracle Enterprise Linux, RHEL clone)

Steps to Reproduce

---

• hosts: my_host vars: config: "{{ playbook_dir }}/oneview_config.json" server_hardware_hostname: "My Blade, bay 5" tasks:

  • name: Power On the server hardware oneview_server_hardware: config: "{{ config }}" state: power_state_set data: name : '{{ server_hardware_hostname }}' powerStateData: powerState: "On" powerControl: "MomentaryPress" register: output delegate_to: localhost

  • debug: var=output

Expected Result

This works fine as long as I use the 'server_hardwares.name' value.

Actual Result

This works fine, but is there any other way to reference a blade to power on/off? I'd like to be able to use the 'server_hardwares.uuid' or 'server_hardwares.uri' reference. Is this possible? Any examples would be nice. Thanks.

@roostercactus , As of now, power operations expecting name of the server hardware in the data.
