Importing Devices - Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - ADMINISTRATION QUICK START 10.3 Quick Start Manual

To perform either of the discoveries, you must create a discovery task. The discovery task lets you
identify the source (IP address range or LDAP directory) that you want to search, specify the
credentials required to retrieve information from discovered devices, schedule the date and time you
want to start the discovery, and select the ZENworks Server you want to perform the discovery. For
more information on how to create the discovery tasks, see the
Management Discovery, Deployment, and Retirement

5.2 Importing Devices

If you want a ZENworks Server to automatically deploy the ZENworks Adaptive Agent to devices,
you must first identify the devices within your Management Zone. To do this, you have two options:
1) you can import them from a comma-separated values (CSV) file, or 2) you can use the ZENworks
discovery technology to search for devices on your network and display them in ZENworks Control
Center.
This section explains how to import devices from a CSV file. If you want to know more about using
discovery technology, see
When you import information from a CSV file, you map the CSV fields to ZENworks database
fields. At a minimum, the CSV file must contain the DNS name or IP address for each device you
want to import.
To import devices from a CSV file:
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Deployment tab.
2 In the Deployment Activities list in the left navigation panel, click Import Deployable Devices
to launch the Import Devices from CSV File Wizard.
