Exporting Switch Stacks with their Serial Numbers

Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

I have modeled Cisco Catalyst Switch Stacks in Spectrum and Chassis Manager shows the modules, i.e. Switch Stacks, correctly. I would like to export Switch Stacks information with their Serial Numbers to import into a CMDB. I am trying to export the information using Modeling Gateway or Web Services API but it isn't easy and there is no straight way to export. What is the best available option to export this information?

Environment

Spectrum 10.2.2 onward

Resolution

From Spectrum 10.2.2 onward, we have Chassis-based Asset report implemented in JasperReports Server report. Please see below documentation.

Broadcom TechDocs : CA Spectrum 10.4 - CABI JasperServer - Available Out of the Box Reports and Domains

You can run Current Chassis-based Assets: All report to extract the Switch Stacks and their Serial Numbers information. The report can be exported into CSV format. This is the best available option to export these information.
