Update SNMP Community string using PowerShell

ioan_bucsa

So I'm trying to write a PowerShell script to update the community script for certain nodes and I get an odd error:

Set-SwisObject : Invalid column name 'SNMPV3Username'.

Invalid column name 'SNMPV3PrivMethod'.

Invalid column name 'SNMPV3PrivKey'.

Invalid column name 'SNMPV3AuthMethod'.

Invalid column name 'SNMPV3AuthKey'.

At \Scripts\Vertiv_Scrub.ps1:43 char:1

+ Set-SwisObject $SWIS -Uri $URI -Properties @{Community = 'Test'}

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Set-SwisObject], FaultException`1

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : SwisError,SwisPowerShell.SetSwisObject

This is how I used the function:

Set-SwisObject $SWIS -Uri $URI -Properties @{Community = 'Test'}

API connection and URI are both good and setting some other property (like 'IsServer') works just fine. I use NPM 12.1; SDK and PowerOrion are up to date.

Also, my test node is added as a SNMP v2c node, not v3.

What am I missing here?

HI there good morning,

I would try the SDK forum as more appropriate eyes will be watching there for questions like this

Orion SDK

i've been trying to find something to help, but not been able to spend too much time looking.

I've also found this which I've implemented previously with help from the forum in a powershell script there are bits missing as the script does other things....so hope you can follow it..

$APComment = @{Comments="AP";}

# Load the SwisSnapin if not already loaded

if (!(Get-PSSnapin | where {$_.Name -eq "SwisSnapin"})) {

Add-PSSnapin "SwisSnapin"

}

$swis = Connect-Swis –Trusted –Hostname localhost

$nodedetail.Uri+"/CustomProperties"|Set-SwisObject $swis -Properties $APComment

hope that helps

Well. I've tried setting other properties and I don't get the error. It may have to do with the fact that I'm trying to update the SNMP community, but like I said, my node is a v2c node, node a v3 node so the error is kinda random...
