first_uuid - |  | The first UUID in the block of UUIDs. This is the From field in the UCS Manager UUID Blocks menu.
hostname string / required |  | IP address or hostname of Cisco UCS Manager.
last_uuid - |  | The last UUID in the block of UUIDs. This is the To field in the UCS Manager Add UUID Blocks menu.
name - / required |  | The name of the UUID pool. This name can be between 1 and 32 alphanumeric characters. You cannot use spaces or any special characters other than - (hyphen), "_" (underscore), : (colon), and . (period). You cannot change this name after the UUID pool is created.

order
-

Choices:
- default ←
- sequential

The Assignment Order field.
This can be one of the following:

org_dn - | Default: "org-root" | The distinguished name (dn) of the organization where the resource is assigned.
password string / required |  | Password for Cisco UCS Manager authentication.

prefix - |  | UUID prefix used for the range of server UUIDs. If no value is provided, the system derived prefix will be used (equivalent to selecting 'derived' option in UI). If the user provides a value, the user provided prefix will be used (equivalent to selecting 'other' option in UI). A user provided value should be in the format XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
