Table 1‑24. Workflow-Update Arguments (Continued)
Argument Description
- -repository (Optional) The root URI of the Model Manager, for example, hp://hostname/repository.
Default is specied in the CloudUtil cong le in the repositoryAddress key under the
<appSeings> section.
-v | - -verbose (Optional) If an error occurs, outputs a stack trace instead of just the exception message.
Import Commands
The import commands enable you to import one or more virtual machines into a vRealize Automation
deployment.
Machine-BulkRegisterExport
Creates a CSV data le that is used to import virtual machines to a vRealize Automation deployment.
