Guidelines for CSV Import

This section provides general guidelines and file format information about each supported object type for CSV import. You must follow the format and syntax described in this section to ensure a successful data import.

You can create a data file using a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, or an application that supports CSV file format, such as Microsoft Excel. You can also import data using Infoblox Migration Wizard, which is a standalone software tool that facilitates the migration of DNS and DHCP data from Microsoft servers to the Infoblox Grid. This tool synchronizes DNS and DHCP data from Microsoft servers and generates a CSV file based on conversion rules you set up through the tool. You can then import the CSV data to the Infoblox Grid through CSV import. For more information, refer to the Infoblox Administrator Guide for Infoblox Migration Wizard.

CSV imports and operations that involve massive data, such as deleting large zones and recursive deletion of networks and all child objects, will significantly affect member performance, resulting in service outage.
