7 Import functionality
Hosts can be added and host information can be updated by importing host information files and
mapping definition files via the Device Manager CLI.
This chapter describes the import functionality that can be used by executing the ImportHosts
command. For details about the format and parameters of the ImportHosts command, see
“ImportHosts” on page 268.
Overview of the import functionality
The ImportHosts command can be used to import host information from files. This command has
an option to check whether the data in the input files has the correct format.
You can import host information for the following purposes:
• To add host information
You can register information about multiple hosts in Device Manager at one time.
The following information can be registered: host names, WWNs, IP (IPv4 and IPv6) addresses,
and OS types.
• To migrate host information
If there are multiple instances of Device Manager in the same environment, the host information
managed in one instance can be migrated to another instance.
• To update (overwrite) host information
The host information registered in Device Manager can be updated (overwritten) with new inform-
ation.
The information that can be updated includes WWNs, IP (IPv4 and IPv6) addresses, and OS
types.
