An embedded fabric DB file, available on the host where an EFA application is running, can be imported.

Syntax

Command Default

If efa.db (Embedded fabric DB file) is available on the host where EFA application is run then it can be imported by providing the local file path. In this case server IP and server credentials are not required.
