NCM 5.0 LMS import seedfile addressing

I just started using NCM 5.0 I dumped my Cisco LMS inventory and
imported into NCM. The file was hostnames only, as LMS uses DNS..
however NCM apparently has not way to resolved via hostname to manage
then nodes. Is there any custom macro to assign to the Node-Detail IP
Address field ? Or do I need to start over with the seed file ? Should be
a way for NCM to query to DNS somehow instead of static IP addresses.

NCM currently requires IP addresses in the seed file.

OK, not a problem.. however when I tested with a new csv with IPs in one delineated column,
there is no 'pull-down' option for IP-Address ,, AgentIP is the only 'IP' option... after selecting
'AgentIP', and OID,NodeGroup columns, the devices populate NCM, but does not take the 'AgentIP'
as the IP-Address. I have no issues doing the 'Add-New-Node' can add in either hostname or IP,,
and works great... but I have 4000+ cisco devices to add.
Any ideas on why 'IP-Address' is not a pull-down option with the import utility ? I'll keep playing with it.

IP Address of the device should be imported into the AgentIP column. So if you select AgentIP as the column header from the drop down NCM will pick it up.
