VDOM (primary and secondary "ROOT?")

How can I create a second root VDOM("B")?

 

We have one FGT. We have an existing root VDOM("A").  I would like to add an "inactive" secondary root vdom("B").  Then "declare" the secondary root VDOM("B") the new primary active root. Then re-classify root VDOM("A") to be the secondary root VDOM("A"). Once the "new" root VDOM("B") is functioning and well tested, delete the secondary root VDOM("A").

 

Suggestions?

There's no concept of secondary and primary vdoms, what you could do is create a 2nd vdom named <whatever> and  copy the cfg from the "root" vdom to  the vdom named < whatever> , but it can't have the same  interfaces . A interface can only be in ONE vdom at a time.

 

 

May I ask what's your ultimate goal and what are you trying todo ultimately do?

 We wish to simulate different stacked/meshed root-vdom<==>sub-vdoms configuration variations without disrupting the LIVE configuration.
