## How to Import Solaris Flash Archives to the Change Manager Repository (Command Line)

Import a Solaris Flash archive from another system, typically the master system on which it was created, on the network. This archive contains a software stack that can be deployed to managed hosts.

The time required to import a file to the Change Manager repository depends on the size of the file and the speed of the network.

1. Determine where the archive exists and where to store it.

   For example, copy the archive from `/net/test1/home/suzi/apache.flar` to the `web-server` folder.

2. Import a Solaris Flash archive to the Change Manager repository by using one of these `changemgr import` commands.

   - The following command line imports one file at a time. You can use the command line to rename the file.

         $ changemgr import [ -u username ] [ -p file ] filepath[.type] \
         relfilepath.type

   - The following command line imports several files to a folder simultaneously.

         $ changemgr import [ -u username ] [ -p file ] filepath.type ... \
         reldirpath

   .type

     Specifies the file name suffix that represents the file type. A shared profile uses the `.flar` suffix.

   For descriptions of the other options, see How to Import Solaris Boot Images to the Change Manager Repository (Command Line).

   Choose a meaningful name that indicates the type of archive. For example, create an archive named `apache.flar`.

### Example-Importing a Solaris Flash Archive to the Change Manager Repository

Suzi copies the archive called `/net/test1/home/suzi/apache.flar` to the `web-server` folder. She renames the file to be `Apache.flar`.

    $ changemgr import /net/test1/home/suzi/apache.flar \
    /web-server/Apache.flar

### Example-Importing Solaris Flash Archives to the Change Manager Repository

Suzi copies the archives called `/net/test1/home/suzi/apache.flar` and `/net/test1/home/suzi/oracle.flar` to the `/` folder.

    $ changemgr import /net/test1/home/suzi/apache.flar \
    /net/test1/home/suzi/oracle.flar /
