We are automating our provisioning process with a Provisioning Tool. We'd like to programatically add nodes, and I assume the only way to do this is via the NPM Stored Procs, but we need to know which Procs to call and in what order they should be called. Our process is as follows:
("Provisioning Tool" is our automated provisioning tool)
- Provisioning Tool adds single node
- Provisioning Tool assigns existing pollers to added node
- Provisioning Tool sets node to unmanaged
- We ship node to customer
- Customer installs node
- Internal business process magic happens here
- Provisioning Tool sets node to managed
These nodes are out in the field on networks we do not own, so running auto discovery will not work for us.
