newbie: Associating CNAME to A record

[#1]

On IPAM v8.2.1, I successfully CSV import my A records. Next, I tried to do a CSV import of CNAME but failed as there is a duplicate A record which I imported before. Below is an example using infoblox documenation. How does this work?

header-cnamerecord,fqdn*,canonical_name*

cnamerecord,abc.corp100.com,abc-lo0.corp100.com

Also another question is that I've been doing most of my work on IPAM module such as importing A records, I took a look at the DNS module "default" and don't see any of my IPAM work. I thought if I populate IPAM, it would auto populate the DNS module but I am a newbie, so what do I know  Any ideas?

You can do it in one shot in one file. This worked for me:

header-arecord	fqdn*	address*	view
arecord	server99.test.net	192.168.90.21	default
header-cnamerecord	fqdn*	canonical_name*	view
cnamerecord	www.test.net	server99.test.net	default

And of course, the CNAME FQDN (www.test.net) part must not exist in the db. Else it is not possible to add it.

thanks, I had my data backwards which result in a duplication error. I switch the data btwn fqdn and canonical_name colums and it worked!

Thanks for replying!
