You add more devices to an existing modeled
instance if you want to add devices using the existing parameters
of the modeled instance. You can perform this task from the Devices
workspace.
To add more devices to a modeled instance:
- On the Network Management Platform user interface, select Devices > Model Devices.
The Model Devices page is displayed.
- Select the modeled instance to which you want to add more
devices and select Add More Devices from the Actions menu.
The Add More Devices page is displayed. You can view the name
of the modeled instance, the device family of the modeled instance,
the device template associated with the modeled instance, the device
image associated with the modeled instance, and the number of devices
that are already part of the modeled instance.
- (Optional) In the Apply Tag field, enter a
tag that you want to assign to this modeled instance.
- In the Number of Devices to add field, use
the up and down arrows to specify the number of devices that you want
to add to this modeled instance.
The default value is zero.
The page is populated with as many rows as the number of devices
that you specify in the Number of Devices field. The Hostname, Platform,
and OS version columns are populated with default values. You can
modify the default hostname, and the platform of the device. If you
have selected the Serial Number Validation check box in the modeled
instance, you need to enter the serial number of the device.
If you want to modify the hostname for a device, double-click
the hostname of the corresponding device and enter the new hostname
If you want to modify the platform for the device, select
the appropriate platform for corresponding device from the drop-down
list.
