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.

  1. Create an input file with the node details. For example: 
    #Input file sample
SILENT = YES
SOURCEPATH = C:\SPP

[TARGETS_USER_1]
HOST = 192.168.1.1
HOST = 192.168.1.3
HOST = 192.168.1.2
UID = user1
PWD = user_password1
[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.
