Validating an
XML Request Using RACK-IN.xsd
Example of Use of the
RACK-IN.xsd for an Invalid configResolveClass Request
Request:
$cat myXMLRequest.xml
<configResolveClass cookie="1360626069/7189c2b0-d57b-157b-8002-f4759de53d50"
inHierarchical="false"/>
Validating the
request:
/usr/bin/xmllint –schema ./RACK-IN.xsd myXMLRequest.xml
<configResolveClass cookie="1360626069/7189c2b0-d57b-157b-8002-f4759de53d50"
inHierarchical="false"/>
Response:
myXMLRequest.xml:1: element configResolveClass:
Schemas validity error : Element 'configResolveClass': The attribute 'classId' is required but missing.
In the preceding example,
validation of the XML request fails and displays an error because the 'classId'
is missing in the request.
Example of Use of the
RACK-IN.xsd for a Valid configResolveClass Request
Request:
$cat myXMLRequest.xml
<configResolveClass cookie="1360626069/7189c2b0-d57b-157b-8002-f4759de53d50"
inHierarchical="false" classId="topSystem"/>
Request:
/usr/bin/xmllint -schema ./RACK-IN.xsd myXMLRequest.xml
<configResolveClass cookie="1360626069/7189c2b0-d57b-157b-8002-f4759de53d50"
inHierarchical="false" classId="topSystem"/>
In the preceding
example, validation of the XML request for a classResolveClass is successful
and the response is displayed.
Example of Use of the
RACK-IN.xsd for an Invalid configConfMo Request
Request:
$cat setRackUnit.xml
<configConfMo cookie="1300242644/ad04d239-d1aa-498d-b074-ccb923066003"
dn="sys/" inHierarchical="false">
<inConfig>
< adminPower="down" usrLbl="UCS server For Demo"
availableMemory="16384" dn="sys/"/>
</inConfig>
</configConfMo>
Validating the
request:
/usr/bin/xmllint -schema ./RACK-IN.xsd /setRackUnit.xml
<configConfMo cookie="1300242644/ad04d239-d1aa-498d-b074-ccb923066003"
dn="sys/"inHierarchical="false">
<inConfig>
< adminPower="down" usrLbl="UCS server For Demo"
availableMemory="16384" dn="sys/"/>
</inConfig>
</configConfMo>
Response:
/setRackUnit.xml:3: element : Schemas validity error :
Element '', attribute 'availableMemory': The attribute 'availableMemory' is not allowed.
/setRackUnit.xml fails to validate
The availableMemory
attribute is read-only in the
class. You can view the read/write
attributes in
that can be set using configCongMo XML
by looking at the
definition in RACK-IN.xsd. A sample
snippet is as follows:
<!---->
<xs:element name="" type="" substitutionGroup="managedObject"/>
<xs:complexType name="" mixed="true">
<xs:attribute name="adminPower">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">

<xs:enumeration value="down"/>
<xs:enumeration value="soft-shut-down"/>
<xs:enumeration value="cycle-immediate"/>
<xs:enumeration value="hard-reset-immediate"/>
<xs:enumeration value="bmc-reset-immediate"/>
<xs:enumeration value="bmc-reset-default"/>
<xs:enumeration value="cmos-reset-immediate"/>
<xs:enumeration value="diagnostic-interrupt"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:attribute>
<xs:attribute name="usrLbl">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:pattern value="[ !#$%&\(\)\*\+,\-\./:;\?@\[\]_\{\|\}~a-zA-Z0-9]{0,64}"/>

Example of Use of the
RACK-IN.xsd for an Invalid configConfMo Request
Request:

</lsbootDef>
</inConfig>
</configConfMo>
Response:
./setBootOrder.xml:3: element lsbootDef: Schemas validity error :
Element 'lsbootDef', attribute 'name': The attribute 'name' is not allowed.
./setBootOrder.xml:3: element lsbootDef: Schemas validity error :
Element 'lsbootDef', attribute 'purpose': The attribute 'purpose' is not allowed.
./setBootOrder.xml fails to validate
Name and purpose
attributes of class lsBootDef are read-only and cannot be used in the
configConMo/set request.
Example of Use of the
RACK-IN.xsd for a Valid configConfMo Request
Request:
usr/bin/xmllint -schema ./RACK-IN.xsd /setRackUnit.xml
<configConfMo cookie="1300242644/ad04d239-d1aa-498d-b074-ccb923066003"
dn="sys/" inHierarchical="false">

xsd file validates
the request and completes the configuration.
