Sorry to wake up an old thread, but this is still not working very well on V4.2.
The res_sample_structure.xls that downloads from the link on the import page appears to be the same as Michal's post above. But so does the res_sample_ipaddress.xls - the files have identical content. The original files under inetpub\solarwinds\orion\ipam\res are different, though.
But that's not my immediate problem. When I do the import of subnets using the res_sample_structure.xls, the individual IP addresses within the subnet are not added. Nothing gets discovered - either by ICMP scan or Neighbor discovery. I'm using the columns:
Address/CIDR, Address, CIDR, Type (subnet), Display Name, MASK, Neighbor Scan Address, and a few other descriptive ones.
For the Address, I'm putting the same thing as what I put in Address/CIDR - without the /24. e.g. 10.1.1.0. The IPAM Evaluation Guide does not explain anything about what to put in the Address column for a subnet import.
I was expecting the import to create the subnets and pre-populate the ranges of IPs. But it does not.
If I go into an imported net, and manually click Add IP Range, and fill in the starting and ending addresses, then discovery works fine. But I have several hundred subnets to import. They are not all contiguous, and some are smaller than /24.
So I'm looking for how to make this less painful.
