IPPlan Zone Import

The ProVision "IPPlan Import" option imports IPPlan zones using provided MySQL database credentials. It is advised to create a DNS Group prior to the import with default parameters and NS records to be inherited by the imported records.

Step 1: Verify DNS Group setup

It is recommended to have a DNS Group created in advance with the proper default parameters and records to be inherited by the imported zones and records. 

Review the existing DNS Groups in the DNS tab, and create a new DNS Group if necessary. See Working with DNS Groups for details on editing or creating DNS Groups. 

Step 2: Import your IPPlan zones

Once DNS Group setup has been verified, navigate to the Data Import Tab in the Admin section. Select the "IPPlan Zone Import" link.

From there, enter the IPPLAN DB Options - Host, Database Name, MySQL Username, and MySQL Password, then select the desired DNS Group to add the zones under. 

The import may take a couple of minutes. If errors occur, they will show under the Pull in Progress message. 

When completed, a successful import will show a green  Complete! status message.

Verify the zones by exiting the Admin area of ProVision, clicking on the DNS tab, and reviewing the zones under the Group previously selected for the import.
