Adding Devices with CSV File Import
You can add devices to CC-SG by importing a CSV file that contains the
values. You must have the Device, Port, and Node Management and CC
Setup and Control privileges to import and export devices.
You must be assigned a policy that gives you access to all relevant
devices and nodes. A full access policy for All Nodes and All Devices is
recommended.
Note: You cannot add P2SC devices with CSV file import.
Devices CSV File Requirements
The devices CSV file defines the devices, ports, and their details
required to add them to CC-SG.
For devices that support power strips connected to a port (SX, KX,
KX2, KSX2), configuring the port will configure the power strip.
If device ports are configured, CC-SG also adds a node with
out-of-band KVM or out-of-band Serial interface for each port.
To add blades, the blade server must be connected to a KX2 device
via a CIM. The KX2 device must either already be added to CC-SG,
or be included in the same CSV file.
Export a file from CC-SG to view the Comments, which include all
tags and parameters needed to create a valid CSV file. See
Export
Devices
(on page 82).
Follow the additional requirements for all CSV files. See
Common
CSV File Requirements
(on page 369).
