Importing topology components provides you with the ability to use content from sources that are external to CSA. The topology component import options are based on the following provider types:

Chef
HPE Insight Control server provisioning
HPE OneView
Operations Orchestration
Server Automation
Puppet

For information about importing operations, see Component operations

Tasks

From the Topology Components area, click the gear icon and select Import Component. Enter the following information:

Item	Description
Content	Import Source - Select the provider type to use as the import source for the component. Provider Instance - Select the provider instance that contains the component you want to import. Provider instances must first be configured in the Providers area to enable import for Chef, Server Automation, and Puppet provider types. For Operations Orchestration, content can be imported from the instance that is configured to integrate with CSA. Depending on your selections above, select the content for the component: Chef - Select one or more Chef cookbooks to be imported as new topology components. Each selected cookbook will create a separate component. HPE Insight Control server provisioning - Select one or more OS Build Plans (OSBPs) to be imported as new topology components. Each selected OSBP will create a separate component. HPE OneView - Select one or more Server Profile Templates or Unassigned Server Profiles to be imported as new topology components. Each selected item will create a separate component. Operations Orchestration - Browse the Operations Orchestration library and select one or more standard component elements that will be imported as new CSA topology components. Each selected item will create a separate component. Server Automation - Select one or more policies to be imported as new CSA topology components. Each selected policy will create a separate component. Puppet - Select one or more Puppet classes to be imported as new topology components. Each selected class will create a separate component.
General	Change Image - Select an Image that will display for all elements you are importing. Tags - Select one or more tags that will include the component. Tags are user-defined, color-coded labels and images used to provide a structure for organizing and grouping topology components.
