Chapter 5 Working With IPM From the CiscoWorks Homepage
Importing Devices From Device and Credential Repository
You can view the results of importing devices from the CiscoWorks homepage by clicking View Import
Source Log or View Import Target log.
To import devices from the Device and Credential Repository:
Step 1 On the CiscoWorks Homepage, select Internetwork Performance Monitor > Admin > Import From
Device and Credential Repository.
Step 2 Click Import Devices.
The Import from Device and Credential Repository screen appears.
Figure 5-7 Import From Device and Credential Repository page
Step 3
Select the method of import as either Sources, Targets as SAA Responders or Targets as IP Devices.
• Select Sources: To import the device that IPM can use for source routers.
• Select Targets as SAA Responders: To import data from Inventory that IPM can use for SAA
Responders target devices.
• Select Targets as IP Devices: To import the device that IPM can use for IP target devices.
Step 4 Click OK.
The devices are imported based on the option you have selected, and a message indicating the location
of the log file is displayed.
You can also view the log file by selecting Source Import Log or Target Import Log on the Import
From Device and Credential Repository page.
Before you import devices from Device and Credential Repository, ensure that there are devices in the
repository. For information about adding devices to Device and Credential Repository, see the User
Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0 on Cisco.com. Also, IPM does not support importing
devices from Resource Manager Essentials (RME).
When you import devices from Device and Credential Repository into IPM, IPM returns a response code
for each operation indicating its success or failure. It also gives you the reason why the operation failed.
