Description

Two write-ups on the gfsh import cluster-configuration command seem to differ with regard to whether the operation is allowed on running cache servers.

The operation is allowed, but with restrictions. The correct details are provided in the gfsh import command description:

https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/113/tools_modules/gfsh/command-pages/import.html#topic_vnv_grz_ck

The corresponding section under Exporting and Importing Cluster Configurations is less clear, and could be improved:
