Technical Tip: How to copy the address/group from one VDOM to another VDOM

Follow the below steps to copy the objects from one VDOM to another VDOM.

Consider the address objects should be copied from  VDOM A to VDOM B.

1) Download the config backup for VDOM A.
2) Open the backup configuration file copy the object-related configuration into a separate text file.

For example, to copy the address objects copy as below:

# config vdom
    edit VDOM-B
# config firewall address
    edit "none"
        set subnet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
next
    edit "login.microsoftonline.com"
        set type fqdn
        set fqdn "login.microsoftonline.com"
    next

....
....

end
end

2) Save it in a different text file.

3) Now Go to VDOM B and Top Right -> Admin > Configuration -> Script.

4) Navigate the text file which was taken from VDOM-A -> select 'ok'.

5) Now all the address objects are copied from VDOM-A to VDOM-B.

The following condition is mandatory.

1) Do not add the UUID in the script, UUID will be automatically created and it will be different in each VDOM.
2) Use a different script file for address and address group.

3) First, execute the address and then address the group objects.
