Customer Information Questionnaire (CIQ) Sheet

The Customer Information Questionnaire (CIQ) sheet is a spreadsheet containing

hardware inventory info in a prescribed manner that needs to be collected before

starting the installation process.

The CIQ sheet file contains the following worksheets:

MiscInfo — Specifies configuration file name, site, Hardware Type, Login

message, and NTP settings.

NetworkInfo — Specifies networks, default gateway, DNS, NTP, and SNMP

servers. It also specifies UCS Manager access details, which is used to collect

the MAC addresses from blades. MAC address can be left blank as the script

that runs on CIQ can populate them automatically. If the script gives a warning

that it is not able to get the MAC address, then you need to manually provide

MAC addresses for all the nodes and run the script again.

ClusterInfo — Specifies cluster names and type as well as interfaces and VIPs

(if any).

NodeInfo — Specifies chassis and slot IDs, hostnames, Mac IDs and IP

addresses, KVM IPs of blades and Cluster Names for all the blades to group into

specific roles.
