Add agentless hosts panel options using Profile
Use this wizard panel to specify options to add a managed host to Management Server using agentless configuration.
The Advanced option lets you use privilege control software with the agentless discovery of a host. You must specify the type and location of the software on the remote host. The Advanced option is optional and is required when adding agentless host discovery for non-root users.

Under Advanced you can add multiple hosts by importing the information from a comma-separated (.csv) file from a specified location. The CSV file must include the ".csv" extension. You can use the manual host specification and the CSV file simultaneously to add hosts.
The following is an example of a CSV file that includes user names and passwords for each host:
For Unix host
Host,User,Password,Port,Software,Softwarelocation
Host,Profile,Port,Software,Softwarelocation
Note: Port, Software, Softwarelocation are optional.
For Unix and Windows host
Host,User,Password
Host,Profile
The first line in the CSV file must appear as above. You can replace the subsequent lines with your hosts, user names, and passwords.
For agentless configuration, the CSV file cannot contain both UNIX and Windows hosts.
Note: The discovery mode (SSH or WMI) must be consistent with the types of hosts you specify in the CSV file. You must specify SSH for UNIX hosts and WMI for Windows hosts.
