Exporting Fibre Channel device identifications to a CSV file

Contributors

You can export existing Fibre Channel device identifications to a CSV file from the OnCommand Insight device resolution feature. You might want to export a device identification so that you can modify it and then import it back into Insight where it is then used to identify devices that are similar to those originally matching the exported identification.

About this task

This scenario might be used when devices have similar attributes that can be easily edited in the CSV file and then imported back into the system.

When you export a Fibre Channel device identification to a CSV file, the file contains the following information in the order shown:

WWN

IP

Name

Type
