Adding nodes with an input file

You can use a CLI with Input File script to add many nodes that you can deploy in the GUI.

Procedure
  1. Create an input file with the node details. For example:
    #Input file sample
    SILENT = YES
    SOURCEPATH = C:\SPP
    DRYRUN = TRUE
    
    [TARGETS_USER_1]
    HOST = 192.168.1.1
    HOST = 192.168.1.3
    HOST = 192.168.1.2
    UID = user1
    PWD = user_password1
    ILO_USERNAME=ilo username
    ILO_PASSWORD=ilo password
    [END]
    
    [TARGETS_USER_2]
    HOST = 192.168.1.4
    HOST = 192.168.1.5
    HOST = 192.168.1.6
    UID = user2
    PWD = user_password2
    [END]
  2. Open a terminal window, navigate to the directory where SUM is located, and then issue the command:

    smartupdate /inputfile <path:\inputfile.txt> (Windows)

    ./smartupdate --inputfile <path:/inputfile.txt> (Linux)

  3. Launch the GUI and manage the nodes. If the nodes were not added, verify that there are no issues with the Input File.
