Add devices with an XML file
You can create device lists in XML format from an HP IPSC export, an HP Web Jetadmin
export, or by using an XML editor. (HP IPSC only uses the data found for the IP Address and
IP Hostname tags.) Examples of exported HP Web Jetadmin and HP IPSC device lists are
shown below.
If both the hostname and IP address are included in the XML file, the hostname is used
during DNS resolution and the Resolve IP addresses to hostnames on add setting is
ignored. Hostname resolution always occurs when the hostname is provided, regardless of
whether the Resolve IP addresses to hostnames on add is selected. HP IPSC uses
the IP address that the provided hostname resolves to, which might be different than the IP
address provided in the same XML file with the hostname. This ensures that the hostname to
IP address pairing is current.
ADD DEVICES TO THE HP IPSC DATABASE
To add the devices listed in the Devices to Add
table, select the OK button. If a license file is
installed in HP IPSC, devices are added to the
database and automatically assigned a license.
Without a license file installed, devices are still
added to the database. Licenses can be manually
assigned later. A Success message displays the
number of new devices added, duplicates
skipped, devices licensed and unlicensed.
