VMedia removal causing "The attribute 'adminAction' is required but missing." parse error.

[Doug Scoular]

Hi Fellow Travellers,
I'm seeing the following issue when using a recent git clone of the imcsdk (post 0.9.3 to get the python 3 vmedia fixes circa 27th Feb 2018).

Whenever I try to delete vmedia I get:

"imcsdk.imcexception.ImcException: [ErrorCode]: ERR-xml-parse-error[ErrorDescription]: XML PARSING ERROR: Element 'commSavedVMediaMap': The attribute 'adminAction' is required but missing."

Obviously something has gone wrong in the mapping of Managed Objects to XML.

This is when I call vmedia.vmedia_mount_remove_all(handle) or vmedia.vmedia_mount_delete(handle, volume_name) any thoughts?

Here's a snippet of the code I'm using under python 3.6.2 MacOS High Sierra against a stand alone c240m5:

def vmedia_boot():
    volume_name="myVmedia"

    with ImcHandle(server, username, password) as handle:
        try:
            vmedia.vmedia_mount_remove_all(handle)
        except ImcException as error:
            print(f"Error: {error}") // This is where we get the error.
        try:
            vmedia.vmedia_mount_create(
                handle,
                volume_name,
                map="www",
                mount_options="",
                remote_share='http://10.199.133.8:8888/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGNOME-1708/',
                remote_file='CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGNOME-1708.iso',
            )
        except ImcException as error:
            print(f"Error: {error}")
        comm_vmedia = vmedia.vmedia_enable(handle)
        result = boot.boot_order_precision_set(
            handle,
            reboot_on_update="yes",
            reapply="no",
            #configured_boot_mode="Uefi",
            boot_devices = [
                {
                    "order":'1', "device-type":"vmedia",
                    "name": "vmedia"
                }
            ]
        )

        return result

Any help hugely appreciated.

Cheers,

Dug

@dscoular this happens when you've got a saved but not active vmedia mapping, which is somehow treated differently than an active mapping. I haven't figured out a way around this yet, other than manually deleting the saved mapping (but I haven't looked too hard at it either...).
