Before you can import new devices for the first time, you must have a text file that contains information about the devices to be imported. The first line of the file specifies the version of the format and is the same for every type of device:

Following this line are a number of lines describing ADOMs, devices, device VDOMs, and device groups. Blank lines and lines beginning with '#' as the first character are ignored. These lines are for users to add comments when importing devices. In addition, each entry in the file must span only a single line. No entries can span multiple lines. Disable the text wrapping feature of your text editor.
