To import appliance configurations to ETEMS:
1 Create a CSV file containing the new appliance configuration data.
2 In ETEMS, import the configurations (File > Import Configurations). If ETEMS detects an error in
the CSV file, none of the configurations are imported. ETEMS displays an error message that includes
the line in the file that contains the error and a description of the problem.
3 Push the configurations to the target appliances and reboot them. In the Tools menu, click Put
Configurations. In the Put Configurations window, select the checkbox labeled Reboot appliances
immediately after operation complete (Figure 34).

enter the software version as 1.5.0. After the appliance is provisioned and
ETEMS communicates with it, ETEMS will accurately display the third digit.
