Cloning of UCS domains

[Walter Dey]

Any best practise how to clone UCS domains ? I have to setup 5 UCS domains, with of course domain specific IP addresses, resource pools ?

xml Backup and then modify in editor is rather inconvenient ?

Is show configuration a more appropriate way ?

Any suggestions are welcome

Hi Walter,

My preferred way to "clone" domains is by taking a backup of my "golden" domain --- and uncheck the "preserve identities" box.    That way, on import, all the ID references are to the pool "name", but not the explicit IDs.

Then the work needed for individual domains is limitted to:

     - Populate the ExtMgmt Pool

     - Create ID blocks, based on "domain ID" and other local best practices.   [ Easiest done with PowerTool]

HTH,
