UUID Pool

A UUID Pool provides universally unique identifiers that Intersight assigns to server profiles. The UUID identifies a server to its operating system and firmware across reboots and hardware replacements, making it essential for stateless server deployments.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates a UUID pool with a fixed prefix and a sequential block of 1000 suffixes, suitable for blade or rack servers in a single domain.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        pools:
          uuid:
            - name: uuid-pool-a
              prefix: "000025B5-0000-0000"
              uuid_suffix_blocks:
                - from: "0000-000000000001"
                  size: 1000
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: The example below demonstrates a second UUID pool with an explicit end address, used for rack servers in a separate address space.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        pools:
          uuid:
            - name: uuid-pool-b
              description: UUID pool for rack servers
              prefix: "000025B5-0001-0000"
              uuid_suffix_blocks:
                - from: "0000-000000000001"
                  to: "0000-0000000003E8"
