Import Data

The Import Data wizard helps you transfer DHCP networks, IP addresses, macros, and options from one Solaris DHCP server to another. The wizard imports configuration data previously exported from another Solaris DHCP server. This effectively moves support of a set of DHCP clients from one server to another.

After you fill in the requested information in each dialog, click the right-arrow button to advance to the next dialog.

The Import Data wizard asks you for the following information.

Import file
Type the full path to the file containing the data you want to import to this DHCP server. The file must be an export file that was produced by exporting data from a Solaris DHCP server. The file is in a compressed binary data format.

Overwrite existing data
If the DHCP server on which you are importing data has configuration data for any of the same networks, IP addresses, macros, or options being imported, that data will be replaced with the imported data when you select this option. By default, conflicting data will not be overwritten.
