3.6 Importing and exporting the management information in IM Configuration Management
This section describes how to set the system hierarchy (IM configuration) by exporting and importing the information managed by IM Configuration Management when a JP1/IM system is configured.
We recommend that you make a backup before importing because the data maintained by IM Configuration Management is altered by import processing. If an error occurs during import processing, the data is rolled back to its status before the import processing began.

-
Export the management information in IM Configuration Management.
At the manager where the source IM Configuration Management is running, execute the jcfexport command to export the management information in IM Configuration Management that is registered in the IM Configuration Management database.
