  • 1.  Updating Device Location In Spectrum

    Posted Jan 26, 2018 01:01 PM

    I have a large spread sheet of device location addresses and I need a quick way to import them to their corresponding devices.  I am currently adding them to each device, one line at a time.  There has to be a faster way to do this.

    A script is probably your only other option…

    Hi Mike,

     

    As Jason has mentioned, a script is the only way to perform this.  If you are wanting to update the "Device Location" in OneClick Information Tab, Asset Information then the attribute would be Location

     

    From CLI the actions would be

     

    > ./update mh=0x200006b attr=0x23000d,val="Barcelona Computer Room"
    Id Name Iid Value
    0x23000d Location Barcelona Computer Room

     

    For model handle 0x200006b the attribute 0x23000d (for Location which shows up as Device Location in OneClick) and the value would be "Barcelona Computer Room" as an example.

     

    I hope this helps.

     

    Best regards,

    Glenn
