Description
Merges chunk size.
Encrypts data during import. This option is used
only if database encryption is enabled.
Generates a unique ID. Type none for no unique
ID to be generated and deterministic for the
generated unique ID to be name-based.
By default, a time-based unique ID is generated.
When using the deterministic generation to
have a name-based unique ID, it is also possible
to specify the namespace for the server to use,
as follows:
-g deterministic namespace_id
namespace_id is a string of characters in the
format 00-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-
xxxxxxxx.
Use this option to import the same LDIF file into
two different Directory Servers and the contents
of both directories should have the same set
of unique IDs. If unique IDs already exist in the
LDIF file being imported, then the existing IDs
are imported to the server, regardless of the
options specified.
Generates a namespace ID as a name-based
unique ID. This is the same as specifying the -g
deterministic option.
Gives the names of the input LDIF files. When
multiple files are imported, they are imported in
the order they are specified on the command
line.
Gives the instance to be imported. Ensure that
the specified instance corresponds to the suffix
contained by the LDIF file; otherwise, the data
contained by the database is deleted, and the
import fails.
Requests that only the core database is created,
without attribute indexes.
