NOTE: Depending on the size and number of components in the package, the import process can take several minutes to several hours. Importing images takes longer than exporting images. When you export an image, the appliance locates and packages all of the files associated with that image in to one .pkg file. When the process is reversed, the image files are checked against the appliance image store to ensure that only new files are uploaded. |
The new components appear on the Package Management > Import List page.
