transfer vlan networks from one pool to another

tgross41

Has anyone developed a script to copy a large number of vlan networks on a bonded pif from one pool to another?

Before I spend a lot of time on this I'd rather not re-invent the wheel?

You mean the creation of a big number of networks with each one VLAN?

I don't think there is such a thing (if I understood your question properly), I have a simple script to create a network, add a vlan to it, create a vif and add it to a given VM. That's using xe commands directly on a single host.

From my understanding here you'll need to parse the networks and vlans, and recreate them on another pool, but that will need to be done outside of a host/pool as you need to recreate them on another pool.

I guess you could go the ssh + key way, that would be my first instinct. But it may also be doable, and maybe easier through XO's API or xo-cli if you do not want to mess with an API directly and prefer a shell script

@bleader you have it right.

I was checking before I started down the path of writing something myself.

We are a public entity that operates very similar to an MSP so we have a ton of VLANs. We're migrating from vCenter/ESXi and have always used powerCLI with powershell to perform these functions.
