I have heard, CP is currently testing a tool that would allow you to create multiple VS objects through CLI. Theoretically, that would allow you to dump info into a text file and then use it to re-build. I have not seen the tool, and it is not yet officially released.Valeri Loukinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915389342131738939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755136273253085483.post-61117252470814660102014-03-09T11:40:13.598+01:002014-03-09T11:40:13.598+01:00Hi Valeri!

...Hi Valeri!<br /><br />It's a standard Cluster, not VSX.<br /><br />However I am merging mgmt1 (which has standard Cluster) into mgmt2 (which has VSX cluster). <br /><br />Maybe cp_merge doesn't like VSX in any of the mgmt stations.<br /><br />I'll try a few more things to see if I can get it to work.<br /><br />Another question if you don't mind: what's the easy way of backing up VSX configs/objects and then restoring it all without having to do it all manually? Do you have any document reference on how to do that? vsx_util seems only useful for exporting things, not importing!<br /><br />Thanks a lot Valeri for your help!<br />Pere Campshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059947665554553037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755136273253085483.post-11791987028778387492014-03-09T09:50:41.545+01:002014-03-09T09:50:41.545+01:00Hi Pere!
