Hi

Have you checked to make sure that the "BROCADEVTM_SERVER" environment variable is set to the correct address?

I've created a new release v0.3.1 This release is using an updated version of the rest client and should give you a more in-depth error message. Please try using this version and let me know if a problem still exists.

I noted that we are using 3.9 , can we tell the cli to use 3.9 api version?

[no-acl]

Currently it's hardcoded to 3.8, however this is something we plan to do in the near future.

In the meantime you could modify the monitorEndpoint variable in go-brocade-vtm/api/monitor/monitor.go to be 3.9 instead of 3.8.

I'll update you when we make the change to allow different versions

[iahmad-khan]

Yes , ideally all the configuration options should be pulled out to some config file or made command line options.

For now , I think I should just search the code for 3.8 and replace them with 3.9 using sed , and then build for myself.

Thanks

I've added support in the cli for specifying API version, this is available in v0.3.2. You might want to take a look at our Terraform Provider for brocade, which allows you to easily manage your brocade resources using Terraform. https://github.com/sky-uk/terraform-provider-brocadevtm/wiki If there's any features you think would be beneficial we would be glad to hear them. This is also tied to 3.8 but soon it will be generic to any version. Thanks

Hi ,

Yes , it would be great if things are just pluggible , we are changing the api version quite frequently with new upgrades for vtm , now we are using 5.0 , as soon as api version is parameterized in terraform , i wil give it a try.

thanks again.
