Use this wizard panel to specify options to add a managed host to Management Server.

Selecting the agent or agentless configuration option will display different options for adding the managed host.

You can also use this wizard panel to add multiple hosts at once by importing the information from a comma-separated (.csv) file from a specified location. The CSV file must include the ".csv" extension. You can use the manual host specification and the CSV file simultaneously to add hosts.

The following is an example of a CSV file that includes user names and passwords for each host:

Host,User,Password
host1,user1,password1
host2,user2,password2

The first line in the CSV file must appear as above. You can replace the subsequent lines with your hosts, user names, and passwords.

For agentless configuration, the CSV file cannot contain both UNIX and Windows hosts.

Note:

The discovery mode (SSH or WMI) must be consistent with the types of hosts you specify in the CSV file. You must specify SSH for UNIX hosts and WMI for Windows hosts.
