specifies the document type, which ETEMS needs to successfully import the file. The pound symbol (#) indicates a comment line, and is ignored by ETEMS during the import operation. In the CSV file, commas are used to delineate one field from the another.

Description

DocumentType=

ETEMS requires the document type to be defined as “simple” when

 

 

importing a CSV configuration file.

deviceType

 

Product Family (appliance model), such as ET0100A or ET0010A. The

 

 

device type is not case-sensitive.

softwareVersion

Enter the software version as a three-digit number, with the third digit being

 

 

zero (for example, etep1.5.0). Even if the software installed on the appliance

 

 

has a non-zero third digit, the third digit must be entered as zero for a

 

 

successful import. For example, if the software on the ET0100A is v1.5.2,

 

 

enter the software version as 1.5.0. After the appliance is provisioned and

 

 

ETEMS communicates with it, ETEMS will accurately display the third digit.

name

 

Name that uniquely identifies the appliance in ETEMS. The device name is

 

 

case-sensitive. Spaces are allowed within the name.

ipAddress

 

Management port IP address, in dotted decimal notation. The address

 

 

imported into ETEMS should match the management IP address configured

 

 

on the appliance.

subnetMask

Management port subnet mask, in dotted decimal notation.

ipDefaultGateway

Management port default gateway, in dotted decimal notation. See the

 

 

Installation Guide for your appliance for more information about setting the

 

 

IP address, mask, and gateway.

 

 

 

To import appliance configurations to ETEMS:

1Create a CSV file containing the new appliance configuration data.

2In ETEMS, import the configurations (File > Import Configurations). If ETEMS detects an error in the CSV file, none of the configurations are imported. ETEMS displays an error message that includes the line in the file that contains the error and a description of the problem.

3Push the configurations to the target appliances and reboot them. In the Tools menu, click Put Configurations. In the Put Configurations window, select the checkbox labeled Reboot appliances immediately after operation complete (Figure 34).
