Importing Devices From Device and Credential Repository
Figure 5-6 IPM Server Troubleshooting Info Page
Importing Devices From Device and Credential Repository
You can import the devices from the Device Credential Repository. Device Credential Repository is a
common repository of devices in Common Services and stores the attributes and credentials required to
manage devices in a management intranet. IPM interacts with this repository to get the device list, device
attributes and device credentials.
You can import devices as
• Sources
• Target SAA Responders
• Target IP Devices
When you import devices as Sources, IPM contacts the device and adds them only if they are running
SAA and if the Read and Write community strings are provided.
When devices are imported as Target SAA Responders, if the device has a read community string, IPM
verifies if the SAA responder is enabled on the target or not. If there is not Read Community String, the
SAA responder status is not verified.
When you import devices as Target IP Devices, IPM adds the device without either contacting the device
or making any verifications.
When you import devices from the Device and Credential Repository, if the devices already exist in IPM,
they will be updated. IPM creates a separate log file for the Device and Credential Repository Import
status. You can view the log file in: IPMROOT/etc/source or IPMROOT/etc/target.
