Importing Licensed Devices

NOTE: Only Dell PowerEdge VRTX devices with an Enterprise license that are not already placed on

the map can be imported to the map.

NOTE: Only OpenManage Essentials Administrators and Power Users are permitted to import

licensed devices.

NOTE: You can only import a maximum of up to 500 devices at a time.

You can bulk import licensed devices on the map through a .csv file. An Export Template function is

available, which creates a .csv file that is already populated with the names of the licensed PowerEdge

VRTX devices that are currently discovered.

To import licensed devices:

1. Perform one of the following:

• Click Home → Map View.

• Click Manage → Devices → Map View.

2. On the Map View, do one of the following:

• Right-click the map, and click Import Licensed Devices.

• Move the mouse pointer over the Actions menu, and click Import Licensed Devices.

The Import Licensed Devices dialog box is displayed.

3. Click Export Template to download a .csv template that you can use for importing licensed

PowerEdge VRTX devices.

NOTE: For more information about the template, see Template for Importing Devices.

The Save As dialog box is displayed.

4. Browse to the location where you want to save the .csv file, type an appropriate file name, and click

Save.

5. Open the .csv file, and perform one of the following:

• In the Latitude and Longitude columns, type the latitude and longitude coordinates for each

device.

• In the Address column, type the address for each device. For example, 1 dell way, round rock, TX.

NOTE: Before you import devices using the address, ensure that the system is connected to

the Internet. If the system connects to the Internet through a proxy server, verify if the proxy

settings are configured in the Preferences → Console Settings page. Also, the Internet

search provider may reject the address search request if you are attempting to import too

many devices at a time. If this occurs, wait for some time and try importing again.

6. Click Import.

The Open dialog box is displayed.

7. Select the location where the updated .csv file is located, and click Open.

The Import Summary dialog box is displayed.

8. Click Ok.

NOTE: Any errors that may occur during the import process are displayed in Logs → UI Logs.
