CSV Field Description
ip_address
An IP address
mname
Name of a managed machine in vRealize Automation. If the field is empty, defaults to no name.
status
Allocated or Unallocated, case-sensitive. If the field is empty, defaults to Unallocated.
a Click Browse next to the Upload CSV text box.
b Navigate to the CSV file and click Open.
c Click Process CSV File.
The uploaded IP addresses appear in the Defined IP Addresses list. If the upload fails, diagnostic
messages appear that identify the problems.
8 (Optional) Filter IP address entries to only those that match.
a Click in the Defined IP Addresses text boxes.
b Type a partial IP address or machine name, or select a date from the Last Modified drop-down
calendar.
The IP addresses that match the filter criteria appear.
9 Click OK.
What to do next
You can assign a network profile to a network path in a reservation, or a tenant admin or business group
manager can specify the network profile in a blueprint.
Assign a Network Proļ¬le to a Reservation
Fabric administrators can assign a network profile to a reservation to enable static IP assignment to
machines provisioned on that reservation.
Network profiles can also be assigned to blueprints by using the custom property
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName. If a network profile is specified in both the blueprint and the
reservation, the profile specified in the blueprint takes precedence.
Note This information does not apply to Amazon Web Services.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a fabric administrator.
n
Create a Network Profile for Static IP Address Assignment.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Reservations > Reservations.
2 Point to a reservation and click Edit.
3 Click the Network tab.
