Ops Manager MAC scheduler csv help??

[tomcotton]

I need to enable resiliency on around 700 users and wouldn't mind using the MAC scheduler to make the job a bit easier. Has anyone used before? If so do you have an example csv I could use?

Thanks in advance

The docs are pretty helpful in this area, specifically the built-in help file in OpsMan. For SchedMAC, you can format the CSV's just about any way you want, as long as you include 3 key pieces of data: the activity type, DN, and home element.

So, if you're enabling resiliency for 700 users, you'd have a 700 line CSV with the following fields in each line:
CHANGE, <DN>, <Home Element>, <Secondary Element>

When you set up the SchedMAC activity, it asks you to define the columns in the CSV source file; the help docs have the field names the system recognizes.

The readme file in the Scheduled MAC folder tells you most of what you need to know.

Once setup in this fashion, open the tasmac.xls file and first step is to press the Update list of Home element etc.

Check the pull down next to Home Elements to make sure this step is successful and you can see all your elements.

I recommend you test a couple at a time before committing to 700 changes.

There is so much more but see how it goes to this point and post again.
