Tool to Migrate Nic/Vswitch Config Between ESX Hosts

[Damin]

Hello.. I am currently running an ESX 3.5 U4 environment, and I am looking for an easy to migrate the Vswitch, Interface and LAN configuration information from one host to the other. On Vsphere this is done using Host Profiles, but I'd like something for ESX 3.5 that will save me the 2-3 hours of manual labor required to create a Vswitch/Vmnic layout when I bring up a new box in our cluster..

Any ideas? Maybe something that can be scripted from the Console?

This is on ESX U4, not ESXi....

You could perhaps use the vicfg-cfgbackup as a starting point. It will copy and restore the configuration from a file. It is part of the VMA appliance or RCLI tools
