Specify multiple devices by importing data from
the .csv file
1. In the Create Discovery Job dialog box, by default, a discovery job name is populated in Discovery Job Name. To change it, type a
discovery job name.
2. Click Import.
NOTE: Download the sample .CSV file, if necessary.
3. In the Import dialog box, click Import, browse through to the .CSV file which contains a list of valid ranges, and then click OK.
NOTE:
An error message is displayed if the .CSV file contains invalid ranges, and duplicate ranges are excluded

Globally excluding devices
NOTE:
To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based
OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.
NOTE: Currently, you cannot exclude a device by using its hostname, but exclude only by using its IP address or FQDN.
When discovering device(s) from all the available devices, you can exclude certain device(s) from getting monitored by OpenManage
Enterprise by doing the following:
1. In the Global Exclusion of Ranges dialog box:
a) In the Description of Exclude Range box, enter the information about the range that is being excluded.
b) In the Enter Ranges to Exclude box, enter address(es) or range of devices to be excluded. The box can take up to 1000 address
entries at a time, but separated by a line break. Meaning, every exclusion range must be entered in different lines inside the box.
The range that can be excluded is same as the supported ranges that are applicable while discovering a device. See Create a
device discovery job.
2. Click Add.
