Import Devices Wizard

Use the Import Devices wizard to import devices into the inventory.

The Import Devices wizard contains the following pages:

•Import Devices Wizard - General Page

•Import Devices Wizard - Select Devices Page

Import Devices Wizard - General Page

Use this page to import new devices into the inventory. For all the import types except virtual devices (which are not physical devices), QPM discovers the devices to import them. Therefore, devices you attempt to import must be online and connected to the network. You cannot use device DNS names that contain the backslash (\) character to import devices into QPM.

To open this page, select Devices > Device Summary. The Device Table page appears. Then click Add/Import from the Device Table page.

The Import Devices Wizard General page appears with the following device import options:

•Manual

•Import from DCR

•Import Virtual Devices from File

The contents of this page varies since it depends on the radio button that you select.

Import Options

The following radio buttons determine the source of the device import operation and the content of the rest of the page.

Table A-22 Import Devices Wizard - General Page 

Field	Description
Manual radio button	Select to import one device manually. The content of the page is described in Manual Import Option.
Import from DCR radio button	Select to import devices from DCR. The content of the page is described in Import From DCR Option
Import Virtual Devices from file radio button	Select to import a virtual device from a virtual device file created by QPM. The content of the page is described in Import Virtual Devices from File Option.
Next button	Click to proceed to the next step.
Cancel button	Click to cancel the wizard.

Manual Import Option

When importing a device manually, you can use the QPM default device access parameters that are configured for the device group to which the device belongs to connect to the device for discovery. In this case, you only must enter the device IP address or DNS name. If the device does not use the defaults, or you have not configured defaults, you must enter all of the device access parameters necessary to connect to the device.

Table A-23 Import Devices Wizard - General Page - Manual Import Page 

Field	Description
IP Address / Host Name	Enter the IP address or the DNS name of the device to import. You cannot use device DNS names that contain the backslash (\) character.
SNMP Read Community String	Enter the device's SNMP community string for read only access. QPM deploys its own SNMP Read Only community string called qpmprivate on the device. Therefore you should not enter the name qpmprivate for the device's SNMP access community string, in this field.
Login Mode radio buttons	Select the type of user name, password, and enable password you are entering in the page—either Telnet or SSH.
User Name	Enter the user name to connect to the device. This is not required if the username has not been configured
Password	Enter the password to use for connecting to the device.
Enable Password	Enter the enable or enable secret password to use for connecting to the device.

Import From DCR Option

The Device and Credential Repository (DCR) in Common Services is a common repository of devices, device attributes, and the credentials required to manage devices in a management domain. DCR enables device information to be shared among various network management applications.

Individual applications interact with this repository to get the device list, device attributes, and device credentials.

Applications can read or retrieve the information from DCR and update the information in DCR to share with other applications. Device Credentials Repository (DCR) is the central credentials repository for QPM.

You can import QPM-manageable devices from DCR.

You can choose not to re-import devices that were previously imported, but not added to the QPM inventory by selecting the do not reimport.. check box in the Import devices Wizard General page.

To import device information from CSV file or from RME, use the import functions in DCR. This information can then be imported to QPM using the Import from DCR option.

Table A-24 Import Devices Wizard - General Page - Import from DCR Option 

Field

Description

Do not re-import devices that were previously imported, but not added to the QPM inventory check box.

Select to import only those devices that have not been previously imported. Devices that have been imported earlier but not added to the inventory will not be imported if you select this option. For example, suppose that you imported 100 devices and added only 50 of those devices to the inventory. The next time when you you import devices, the 50 devices you imported but did not add to the inventory will not be imported again.

To open, click the number in the In Progress, Completed, or Total columns in the Discovery Status report.

Table A-28 Discovery Status Devices List Dialog Box 

Field	Description
Primary Device Name column	Displays the device IP address or DNS name entered to identify the device when it was added to the inventory.
Model column	Displays the device model.
Status column	Displays the device status. The following statuses indicate that the device is working properly: •OK •Virtual—The device is a virtual device. The following statuses indicate a problem with the device. Devices with these statuses are not usable in QPM: •Unreachable—The QPM server cannot establish basic network connectivity to the device. •SNMP Error—The device has an SNMP error that is preventing QPM from gathering the data it needs to work with the device. These are the common causes: –The device public community string entered in QPM is incorrect. –QPM can't read all of the necessary SNMP information from the device, possibly because there are corrupted or missing MIBs. –The device does not have a functioning SNMP engine. –The SNMP request timed out, typically because the device or network was too congested to respond before the timeout limit. The possible resolutions are to increase the SNMP timeout value and to increase the number of SNMP retries. •Telnet Error—QPM cannot connect to the device using Telnet. These are the common causes: –The device Telnet password entered in QPM is incorrect. Correct the Telnet password in QPM. –SSH is enabled but SSH login failed because SSH is not configured correctly on the device. Fix the SSH configuration on the device. –The login to the device failed. –There is no Telnet connection to the device.
OS column	Displays the device operating system (OS) version.
Mapped OS column	Displays the OS version that QPM has mapped to the device. See Adding Devices to the Device Inventory, page 4-2 for information about mapped OS versions.

Device Grouping

The following topics describe the fields in the pages that are accessed from the Device Grouping option:

•Device Groups Page

•Device Group Properties Page

•ACS Device Group Privileges Page

•Device Folders Page

Device Groups Page

Device groups are groups of devices (and their network elements) within the inventory that are created and maintained in ACS, except the default device group, which exists and is maintained only in QPM.

Use this page to:

•View the device groups in the inventory.

•Edit device group properties.

To open this page, select Devices > Device Grouping. The Device Table page appears. Then select Device Groups from the TOC.

Table A-29 Device Groups Page 

Field	Description
Radio button column	Select a radio button to select its row.
Name column	Displays the device group name.
Description column	Displays the device group description.
Active Device Group column	Indicates whether the device group is the active device group. The active device group has a check mark in this column.
Device Folders column	Click the Device Folders icon in the column to view the device folders that exist within the device group. The Device Folders page appears.
Edit button	Click to edit the properties of the selected device group. The Device Group Properties Page appears.
Set Active button	Click to set the selected device group as the active device group. This setting takes effect throughout the QPM UI. Only the devices, deployment groups, and policy groups in the active device group appear in the UI. To work with items from another device group in the QPM UI, set that device group to be the active device group.
Delete button	Click to delete the selected device group. Any deployment groups and policy groups contained in the device group are also deleted. This feature is useful because device groups are not automatically deleted from QPM when you delete them in ACS, even when you synchronize device group information with ACS. This gives you the opportunity to edit your QPM deployment groups and policy groups before manually deleting the device group.

Device Group Properties Page

Device groups are groups of devices (and their network elements) within the inventory that are created and maintained in ACS, except the default device group, which exists and is maintained only in QPM.

Many of the device group properties are the same properties that QPM maintains for devices. These device group properties are assigned to all devices in the device group by default. You can override these defaults by entering different device properties for an individual device.

Use this page to view and edit device group properties.

To open this page, do any of the following in the Device Groups page:

•Click a device group name.

•Select the check box next to a device group, then click Edit.

ACS Device Group Privileges Page

Use this page to manually synchronize the user permissions and device group information in the inventory with ACS or CiscoWorks Common Services (depending on which you are using to administer device groups and user permissions).

Typically you would synchronize in the following cases:

•When you know changes have been made to the ACS or CiscoWorks Common Services device group assignments or access privileges.

•When your CiscoWorks user role has changed since you logged into QPM.

To open this page, select Devices > Device Grouping. The Update Passwords page appears. Then select ACS Device Group Privileges from the TOC.

If you are using ACS mode, this view only gives you a high-level view of your privileges. Although this table might show that you have a privilege, you might not have all the sub-privileges for that privilege type.

If you cannot perform a task even though this page indicates you have permission, first press Sync to synchronize with ACS.

If you still cannot perform the task, view the privilege settings within ACS to determine if you are missing a sub-privilege.

Table A-35 ACS Device Group Privileges Page 

Field	Description
Server mode	Displays which server type is being used to administer user permissions and device groups, either ACS or CiscoWorks (CMF).
Privilege Summary Table
Device Group	A list of the device groups defined in QPM. If you are using CiscoWorks (CMF) mode, only the Default device group is listed. If you are using ACS mode, there might be additional groups. For each device group, the privileges you have for the device group are displayed. Privileges are indicated using these symbols: •Check mark—Indicates you have the privilege. •X—Indicates the privilege is denied. •Dash—Indicates the privilege is not applicable to this item.
View	Whether you have permission to view devices. View privilege also typically includes the permission to view deployment groups and deployment job status, preview CLI commands for QPM policies, and view monitoring reports and graphs. View privileges do not allow you to make changes in QPM.
Modify	Whether you have permission change device credentials, import devices, edit devices, move devices to other device groups, and delete devices. Modify privilege also typically includes the permission to create and modify policies, and to upload deployment groups. Modify privileges do not allow you to deploy policies.
Deploy	Whether you have permission to deploy QPM policies
Delete	Whether you have permission to delete monitoring reports. Delete privilege also typically includes the ability to delete deployment logs and jobs.
Report	Whether you have permission to create or run QPM monitoring reports.
Global Privilege	Displays your privileges for global settings in QPM, that is, settings that are not tied to a specific device group. The possible privileges are: •View—Whether you can view global QPM libraries. Global View privilege also typically includes the permission to view audit logs. •Modify—Whether you can change administrative settings, or create and retrieve backups. Global Modify privilege also typically includes the permission to modify QPM global libraries. To make changes to global settings in QPM, you must have Modify privilege for the device group that contains the CiscoWorks Common Services server. •Delete—Whether you can delete audit logs.
