tabrestore - replaces with or adds to a xCAT database table the contents in a csv file.
tabrestore [-a] table.csv
tabrestore [-? | -h | --help]
tabrestore [-v | --version]
The tabrestore command reads the contents of the specified file and puts its data in the corresponding table in the xCAT database. Any existing rows in that table are replaced unless the (-a) flag is used and then the rows in the file are added to the table. The file must be in csv format. It could be created by tabdump. Only one table can be specified.
This command can be used to copy the example table entries in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/templates/e1350 into the xCAT database.
