A Python script provisions a service profile from a template. If the configConfMo call fails due to a network timeout, what is the best practice for the script to handle this error and ensure a clean state?

Immediately exit the script and notify the administrator to manually check the UCS Manager.

Re-authenticate and then re-send the same configConfMo call without checking for partial creation.

Retry the configConfMo call a few times, and if it still fails, query the service profile to see if it was partially created, then delete it if necessary.

Ignore the error and continue with the next step, assuming the profile was created.

A Python script must provision a service profile from a template, but the script needs to ensure that the template is of type 'updating-template' and not 'initial-template'. The script has already authenticated. Which approach should the script take?

Use configConfMo to create the service profile directly from the template name without checking the type.

Query the 'computeBlade' class to find a server and then create the profile from the template.

Use AaaLogin with the template name to get the template type.

Query the 'lsServer' class with a filter for the template name, then inspect the 'type' attribute in the response to confirm it is 'updating-template' before proceeding.

A Python script authenticates to UCS Manager and performs a long series of provisioning operations. The script occasionally receives an authentication error mid-operation. The script currently re-authenticates and retries the failed operation. However, this sometimes causes duplicate service profiles. What is the best way to handle this?

Increase the session timeout on the UCS Manager to avoid re-authentication.

Use a new session for each operation to avoid timeouts.

Before retrying, query for the service profile by name; if it exists, delete it or reuse it before re-attempting creation.

Ignore the authentication error and continue with the next operation.

A Python script provisions a service profile from a template. The script uses a try/except block around the configConfMo call. In the except block, the script calls a cleanup function that deletes the service profile if it exists. However, the cleanup function itself fails because the session cookie has expired. What is the best way to handle this?

Re-run the entire script from the beginning.

In the cleanup function, catch the authentication error, re-authenticate, and then retry the deletion.

Log the cleanup failure and exit, leaving the profile for manual cleanup.

Ignore the cleanup failure because the original provisioning failed anyway.
