• -t — Specifies the file type to be imported. Valid values are "xml" and "ini". These are
case-insensitive. ini imports the legacy configuration file. The ini file cannot be imported
from a remote share. If -t is not specified the legacy file is imported.
• -b — Specifies the shutdown type for the host after the import operation completes. The
parameters are "Graceful" for graceful and "Forced" for forced shutdown. If this
parameter is not specified, graceful shutdown is taken as the default.
• -w — Maximum time to wait for the graceful shut down to occur. This has to be given in
seconds. Minimum accepted value is 300 seconds and the maximum accepted value is
3600 seconds. The default value is 1800 seconds.
