Behavior
11 Importing Physical Groups and Device Association from a CSV file
2 Behavior
The script processes only one physical group, the defined hierarchy and device to rack group association at a
time. Any grouping structure specified for the device is created only if they do not exist.
Ensure that the devices that are mentioned in the CSV file and meant for associating with the rack group in a
defined slot are discovered and on-boarded in Open Manage Enterprise using the discovery task before
executing the script. However, the physical groups as defined in CSV file are created irrespective of the
devices being on-boarded or not. Only on-boarded devices are applicable for device association.
The order of the physical group elements mentioned in the Input File Structure
section is mandatory;
however, the existence of groups is not. You can skip empty group by commas, but the placeholders
separated by commas are mandatory.
