When updating nodes and interfaces using a CSV file, the file must use the UPDATE command, and define the former and new names for all name changes.
CC-SG processes each line of the CSV file sequentially. After a name change, the former name will not exist and the node can only be found using its new name.
When you include name changes in a CSV file, all lines that occur in the file after the name change must use the new node name when referring to the node. For example, if you rename a node in line 1 and update one of the node's interfaces in line 2, you must identify the node with its new name in line 2.
Node names must be unique. If your CSV file contains a new name that is found to be a duplicate, you will receive a warning message during validation. You must fix the duplicate name before you can import the file.
To update details of an interface without updating the interface name, enter the current interface name for both the "interface name" and "new interface name" columns in the CSV file.
You cannot update categories and elements.
You cannot update the access application selection for out of band KVM or serial interfaces.
You cannot update virtual infrastructure nodes and interfaces. Use the options in Nodes > Virtualization.
You cannot update Power IQ Proxy power control interfaces. Use Power IQ Synchronization. See Synchronize Power IQ and CC-SG.
Export a file from CC-SG to view the Comments, which include all tags and parameters needed to create a valid CSV file. See Export Nodes.
