How to export and Import Consistency Groups in RecoverPoint
I need to move all my the Consistency groups from one RecoverpOint cluster to another RecoverPoint cluster. I guess I need to put the info in a txt file but then I need to import that file to my new RecoverPoint cluster. How do I do that? How to export the Consistency group information?
I did get_group_settings. then save the info in a txt file. Can import that file to RecoverPoint?
Anyone knows how to?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
Yes, you can export the configuration via the admin CLI command save_settings. Afterwards, this file can be taken and imported into a different cluster via ssh/plink. Couple of comments on that:
1) If only CG configuration is needed, then the CG section would need to be cut from the exported file
2) The cluster names might need to be modified, depends if they differ on the new setup
3) The maximum size of a single imported file can be 128KB, so if it's above or closer that it would need to be split into several files, make sure that you don't run clear_settings on every import and that file is being cut in a way that a configuration of a single CG doesn't span multiple files.
4) if importing all settings (meaning importing the exported save_settings file as a whole) then it would clear all current settings because clear_settings -f is being run at the beginning
An export configuration example:
plink -ssh admin@ -pw save_settings windows=yes > c:\save_settings.txt
An import configuration example:
plink -ssh admin@ -pw -m c:\save_settings_modified.txt
Hope that helps,

Thank you so much for your help. for being so specific on the steps. I haven't tried just yet, but I will try this tomorrow and I let you know the results.
I broke down the CGs in different files, after issuing the command save_settings, so I can do one CG at the time, this will allow me to have more control and see if I get the results that I'm looking for.
I'm moving my CGs from one cluster to another cluster, the clusters have a different name and I'm moving one CG at the time.
Cheers!
