Moving data from production-grid to lab-grid regularly [ Edited ]

[#1]

Hi,

we actually have 2 grids running.

1 production-grid with the following members:
    - grdimaster as HA-pair with DNS and DHCP
    - gridmaster-candidate as HA-pair with DNS and DHCP
    - reporting appliance
    We are running a DNS-Master/Slave-config and a DHCP-failover within the 2 HA-pairs.

1 lab-grid with the following members
    - grdimaster as HA-pair with DNS and DHCP
    - gridmaster-candidate as single node with DNS and DHCP
    - reporting appliance
    We are running a DNS-Master/Slave-config and a DHCP-failover.

The 2 grids are differnt in IP-addresses, hostnames of the members, grid-name.

Actually we do a CSV-export on the production-grid, edit the data manually to match for the LAB and import the CSV-files.
This procedure makes much work and is very slow, so that we do this not regularly.

We are searching for a way to migrate the productiondata to our lab on an automated way, so we could do this more frequent and maybe regularly.

Is there a best practice to do this, or does someone have some scripts already running? Maybe there is a way to do this via the API?

Any recommendation?

Best regards

Thomas

hey, did you find a way to do it ?

No, not yet. Still working on it and doing manual CSV-exports and imports.

I hoped someone from Infoblox will read this here and will have an hint :-(
