Vertiv Avocent - Appendix E: Creating an SP File

Appendix E: Creating an SPFile
In order to have the appliance import a list of service processors, you must create a file containing the SPs. Each line of the
file must be in the following format: IP:Port:Username:Password:Profile. Repeat this format for each SPto be added to the list.
See SPFile Format on page 99 for the syntax descriptions.
Colons must be used to separate the parameters. If a colon is used in either the username or password, you must put the
entire username or password in quotes.
The following is an example of a valid SPfile:
