How do I clone a logical configuration deployment?

Purpose

Use this procedure to create a copy of a logical deployment and apply the template and identifier to a different target or targets.

This is a one-time procedure. Future changes to the template are not automatically applied to all targets.

If you want to create a set of deployments with the same identifier that can be modified as a group, clone the deployment as a blueprint.

Steps
 
1 

Open Device Management, Configuration Deployments.

2 

Choose a logical deployment and click png1.png (Table row actions), Clone.

The form opens with the template already selected and an identifier already assigned.

3 

Add one or more targets:

  1. Click png6.png Target and choose NEs or Predefined Groups from the drop-down list.

  2. Choose one or more targets from the list to add them to the Bin. You can use Shift-click to choose a range of targets.

  3. Verify the list of targets in the Bin and click Add.

  4. To add additional targets, repeat the previous steps and click Update.

Note: All targets must be the same type, that is, you can’t deploy to NEs and Predefined Groups in the same deployment.

If the template is flexible, the View/Edit template Config button is available.

  1. Click View/Edit template config to open the editing form.

  2. Choose a template and click Edit Configuration.

  3. In the form that opens, configure the template parameters.

  4. Click Update if you made changes, or click Cancel to close the form.

  5. Update additional template configurations as needed.

  6. Click Save if you made changes, or click Cancel to close the editing form.

If the template is fixed, click the View Template Config button for a read-only preview of the configuration parameters.

Complete the creation of the new deployment:

  1. Click Save to add the deployment to the list in Saved status, but not apply the configuration to the targets.

  2. Click Deploy to apply the configuration to the targets.
