Generating an assessment report by importing the inventory report XML

Contributors netapp-maireadn

You can import the inventory XML report generated by the Inventory Collect Tool to assess the features and functionalities of hosts and controllers. You can then identify how these host and controllers work in the ONTAP version selected for transition by creating an assessment report.

  • You must have run the Inventory Collect Tool and generated the inventory report XML file.

    Note To assess hosts and controllers for copy-free transition, you must use the latest version of the Inventory Collect Tool to collect inventory.
  • You must have prepared the 7-Mode systems and hosts for transition assessment.

The systems that you want to assess need not be reachable while importing the inventory report and performing transition assessment.

  1. Log in to the 7-Mode Transition Tool, and then click Collect and Assess in the home page.

  2. Click Import Inventory Report XML.

  3. Click Browse, and then select the XML report generated by the Inventory Collect Tool.

  4. Click Import.

    The assessment status of the system shows Imported;Ready.
