APIC-EM Bulk Upload

[Claudia de Luna]

Hi,

I'm working on provisioning about 35 switches.  I downloaded the bulk upload project template and filled it in pretty consistently or so I thought but 7 switches don't go into the project for some reason and wind up in Unplanned devices.  I can then claim them and add them to the project. Are there any logs that I can review to try to figure out why those 7 are rejected?

Thanks!

So I didn't realize that the device name had to be unique..I assumed that they key was the Serial Number.  And that explains the failure as the names are indeed duplicates because these are stacks and I used the host name as the device name vs the label which notes the member number.

Thank you so much.

Happy to help.

Just need to configure a single rule any of the serial numbers in the stack, with the stacking option enabled, and the controller will do the rest.

When the stack contacts the controller, it will send all serial numbers in the stack and the controller will match on any of them.

Might be good to select the appropriate number of stack members too.
