Regarding object name.

[manispmm]

I have 1000 ip address, but some of ip address already available in mgmt server. Example if I have 500 exiting host ip address , how to know that 500 exiting host name? Any easy way to find exiting host name.

Look up by IP addresses

You can also use the SmartConsole Object Explorer (Ctrl + E). There you could filter only Hosts and then:

1| Use Search field

2| sort by IP address

3| Export to CSV file and use it for the search

This way I know. I have 500 IPs, 500times I search those IPs . This is not easy way.

If you're trying to do this via the API rather than via SmartConsole, look into 'show objects filter'.

You could also do what I do: download the full details of every object, and search that yourself locally. This has the disadvantage of a lot of up-front work, but it's much faster than running 500 searches via separate API calls.

I think what @Tal_Paz-Fridman said makes most sense to me as well.
