Aruba Central - stuck with Template Group Variables

  • 1.  Aruba Central - stuck with Template Group Variables

    Posted Apr 19, 2021 12:55 PM
    Hi all,

    I'm looking for help concerning Template Group, I have several issues that block me

    when I try to import a configuration of an existing switch, GUI doesn't find the switch I'm looking for. It is up & running in default group, but I cannot import the configuration. So I had to copy/paste the configuration in the template. What could I do to find it ?

    In the template, I used a few variables that are detected by Central. I uploaded a variables file (in JSON format) but I see no imported variables in the GUI (TG > Devices > Switch > Configuration > Variables).
    But through the API  call ( /configuration/v1/devices/{device_serial}/template_variables) I get all variables I pushed to the portal. So, variables are available in the Aruba Central "DB" but not accessible through the Web UI. Anyone has ever experienced such issue ?

    Then I try to upload/change the variables by Web UI or by API, and I got errors with both interfaces :
    • if I upload a new  csv file, I receive an error saying "No changes detected. please ensure you mark modified column as Y" (even if modified column as a "Y")
    • if I use an API call (PUT /configuration/v1/devices/{serial}/template_variables) I receive an error "Error: variables are empty for cid XXXXX device serial YYY"

    Anyone has ever experienced such issue ?
    Have you ever succeed to use Template group ?

    Thanks for helping

    after working a few hours with all that stuff :
    • you can see variables associated to a Serial number when the device is added to the Template group.. even if you can access to it through API...
    • to create a TG, plan to have a switch with console access.. I got a lot of reboots before having a working template
