Parameter Description
string Generation of 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.
If you use the deterministic generation to have a
name-based unique ID, you can also specify the namespace
you want the server to use as follows:
-g deterministic namespace_id
where namespace_id is a string of characters in the
following format
00-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
Use this option if you want to import the same LDIF file into
two different Directory Servers and you want the contents of
both directories to have the same set of unique IDs. If unique
IDs already exist in the LDIF file you are importing, then the
existing IDs are imported to the server, regardless of the
options you have specified.
namespaceId Generates a namespace ID as a name-based unique ID. This
is the same as specifying the -g deterministic option.
Merge chunk size.
Encrypts data during import. This option is used only if
database encryption is enabled.
