tiup dm import Only for upgrading DM v1.0
Note
This command is used only for upgrading DM clusters from v1.0 to v2.0 or later versions.
In DM v1.0, the cluster is basically deployed using TiDB Ansible. TiUP DM provides the import command to import v1.0 clusters and redeploy the clusters in DM v2.0.
Note
The command does not support importing DM Portal components from DM v1.0 clusters.
Before importing the cluster, stop running the original cluster first.
For data migration tasks that need to be upgraded to v2.0, do not execute stop-task on these tasks.
The command only supports importing to DM v2.0.0-rc.2 and later versions.
The deployment directories of some components might be different from those in the original cluster. You can check it with the display command.
Before importing the cluster, run tiup update --self && tiup update dm to upgrade TiUP DM components to the latest version.
After the cluster is imported, there is only one DM-master node in the cluster. You can refer to the scale out command to scale out the DM-master node.
