272 Utilities in Dell OpenManage IT Assistant
2 Define a template that will be applied to one or more discovery ranges.
You define the template by entering a discovery range with the host name
of
default_template . The import node list utility applies the
protocol settings defined in this template to each discovery item in the
file.
3 Run the utility from the command line. (The import node utility is located
in the IT Assistant
/bin directory.) Specify the filename for the file you
created and, optionally, the template name. You can also specify the
template name in the file. For example:
importnodelist nodelist.txt
The following options are available and may be specified in any order after
the filename:
-delete — This option causes the template(s) used to be automatically
deleted after the utility successfully imports the node list.
-default <templatename> — Allows for a different default template
name to be used. The default name is
default_template .
See sample commands for more information.
