Importing Devices

Before you can deploy the HPCA Agent to a device, you must import that device into HPCA. You must also import any VMware ESX Server that you want to manage using HPCA.

When you import a device, a directory object is created for that device. No attempt is made, however, to verify that you have specified a valid device.

To import devices:

  1. On the Management tab, go to the Directories area, and click Devices.
  2. Click the (Import Device Wizard) button.
  3. In the Device IP/Host Name text box, type or paste a comma-separated list of device host names or IP addresses.
  4. In the Device Classification drop-down, select the appropriate classification for the group of devices.
  1. Click Add. Devices are added to the import Devices list.

    To remove a device from the list, select the check box to the left of the device and click the (Remove) button.

  1. Review the list, and click Commit. Devices are imported into the Devices container. They are also added to the All Devices group.
  2. Click Close to acknowledge the dialog.

To remove a device:

To remove a device that was previously imported, browse to the device object page and click the (Delete this Directory Object) button.
