How do I export vCD local user accounts from one vCD 9.0 cell and import them into another vCD 9.0 cell?

Hi,

I want to export a list of 100 local vCD users from one vCD 9.0 cell and import them into a new vCD 9.0 cell (so I don't have to manually create the local accounts one by one and I am not using LDAP since this is a lab environment).

I assume I have to use this command as detailed in the link below:

./cell-management-tool dbextract

VMware vCloud Director Documentation Center

But I don't see specific line on what to do just for users instead of the entire database.

Is there a quick way to get this done?

Thanks.

I don't completely understand the question, I mean: users are not saved locally on the cell, they're in the database.

If you need the users on a second cell in production, it will suffice to join the cell because the user base is the same, if you need to build a test environment, you should clone both the cell and the database server.

Best regards, e.
