NAME
ipmtxt2vis - Insight Control Power Management text to visual xls conversion tool
SYNOPSIS
ipmtxt2vis 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 spreadsheet visual (VIS) representation of every row of the data center. 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.
Any user with file permissions can read a spreadsheet or text file. The common attribute:value text format is
described in ipm.1m in detail.
EXAMPLES
See ipmvis2txt.1m for an example out what VIS output format looks like. This is a sample input file. Case
and spacing are ignored by the parser.
