Copying Networking configuration from one ESX host to another ESX?

[malnic]

Is it possible to copy the network configuration from one ESX host to another? As i don't fancy repeating the same networking config another 11 times!

You will have to use a script to make your life easier.

Create a whatever.sh file and make it executable (chmod +x whatever.sh)

Inside the script, you will have to learn the esxcfg-* commands. Such as 'esxcfg-vswitch -a vswitch1' creates a virtual switch.

If you do a esxcfg- and then tab twice, you will see all the options. You can also do a -h to see the help page of each command.

Good Luck.

Thanks for that:)

I don't do scripts but i know a man who does.

Try the following link which provides scripts for build ESX hosts, including networking and more... why re-invent the wheel when you can reuse!!

Hope this is of some help.
