The .yaml file metadata is described in the following table:
Field | Description | Supported values |
name | Name that describes the object. For example:
Note: If discoveryViaDhcp is set to auto, the prefix auto- is added to the site name. The first and last character must be alphanumeric. The maximum character limit for a server name is 51. The maximum character limit for a site name is 253. | Alphanumeric (a to z, 0 to 9), dash (-), or period (.) |
labels | Specifies one or more labels and their values. You can define your own labels. However, the profile label is reserved for internal operations such as server decommissioning. A site label is mandatory for switches and hardware profiles. For server, if the site label is not provided, or "*" is provided in the YAML file, the number of servers available are deployed equally on the scheduled sites. For example, if there are three sites and six servers, two servers are deployed at each site.
Note: The site label must match the value set for the metadata location in the site object. Examples of user-defined labels that you can use to identify and target specific servers and switches:
Note: Servers and switches that are auto-discovered have vendor labels that are updated automatically.
The maximum character limit is 63. The first and last character must be alphanumeric. | Alphanumeric (a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9), dash (-), underscore (_), period (.), or can be left empty |
