import_config

Imports a saved configuration.

Format

emcli import_config
      -input_file="ImportConfig.zip" 
      -name="Host Saved Configuration" 
      [-description="Imported Configuration"] 
      [-ignore="Yes"] 
    
[ ]  indicates that the parameter is optional. 

Options

• input_file

  Input zip file with an absolute path that contains the target's saved configuration.

• name

  Name of the saved configuration. The value should be unique and not null.

• description

  Description of the imported target's saved configuration. The default value is "Imported Configuration". This option is not mandatory.

• ignore

  Specifies whether or not to ignore the configuration extension version mismatch. The value is Yes or No. The default value is No. This option is not mandatory.

Example

The following command imports the saved configuration specified in the file "ImportConfig.zip", saves with the name "Host Saved Configuration" and description "Imported Configuration", and ignores any configuration extension version mismatch:

emcli import_config 
      -input_file="ImportConfig.zip" 
      -name="Host Saved Configuration" 
      -description="Imported Configuration" 
      -ignore="Yes" 
    

The following command imports a previously exported configuration file after editing the init parameters as needed:

emcli import_saved_config 
-name="Edited Baseline Name"
-input_file="../Baseline1.zip" -X

Note:

The -X parameter ignores all the additional file attributes that are generated during the export. Failure to use -Xwill generate an error while uploading an edited configuration file.
