Massive modification of hosts

pepin
We're about to redefine completely our IPs on our computers, but modifying hosts IPs in astaro one by one can be a bummer.

Is there a better way to do this ? is it possible to change a flat file using sed, or awk to achieve the best result with the less effort ? 

is it possible to expand an .abf backup, then patch the definitions, and repack it for upload ? 

Thanks for your help.

    It's been a few years since I did SQL programming, and it wasn't PostgreSQL, so all I see there is the potential for doing something that voids the Astaro warranty and support agreement.  It's hard to imagine that it would be faster to tripatouiller in the database than to just make the changes manually in under two hours.

    I did a similar thing with a client who had bout 50 hosts.  When I was done, I ran back through the definitions, copied the IPs into a new column on my spreadsheet and compared to be sure that I had copied everything correctly.  It took me about 30 minutes.

    Having said that, if you decide to try it and you find some nifty tricks, please share with the rest of us!

    Cheers - Bob

    Have you started a case with Astaro Support?  They may be able to help you, since you have 300 hosts to deal with.
