CSV Import Limitations

Ensure that you understand the following limitations before you start an import:

  • You can import multiple CSV files at a time, but at any given time you can execute only one single task. The import tasks are queued. Note that only one task at a time will be in the Import in progress state, while the others are in the Import pending state.
  • You cannot roll back to previous data.
  • The following data cannot be imported: Microsoft management, DNSSEC, and GSS-TSIG data.
  • You cannot export or import zone configuration for DNSSEC signed zones, although resource records added for a signed zone are supported.
  • Only editable data can be imported. Discovered data cannot be imported or manipulated.
  • If you upload a file and preview the file using the Preview option, and later update the content of the same CSV file, and then try to view the edited file using the same Preview wizard, you may not be able to see the changes. Infoblox recommends that you start a fresh CSV import to upload the edited file and navigate to the Preview wizard to preview the file.
  • You cannot perform the CSV import operation on a Microsoft Server zone object, but NIOS allows you to perform the CSV import operation on records within a Microsoft Server zone. You may not see an error message when you perform a CSV import using the replace operation on an Microsoft Server zone.
  • When you promote a new Grid Master during an import, the import stops; and it does not restart on the new Grid Master. When a failover occurs during an import, the import stops on the old active node, and it does not restart on the new active node.
  • When you configure Unbound as the DNS resolver, NIOS does not support certain features and they are not displayed in Grid Manager. However, fields related to these unsupported features will appear in CSV export files. Although these fields are only relevant to the IB-4030-10GE appliance and might not apply to the appliances in your Grid, you can still perform CSV imports using these CSV export files without any issues.
