NAME
ipmtxt2tab - Insight Control Power Management text to table conversion tool
SYNOPSIS
ipmtxt2tab input_text_file output_xls_file
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this tool is to convert a flat text representation of data center topology by device, rack, and
row into an xls file tabular (TBL) representation of every rack and device alphabetized by name. This procedure
creates a lab notebook, a paper reference copy of all current topology data (see ipmexport). If the output
file name already exists, the tool will exit with an error, forcing the user to remove or rename the output file
name.
