Rename Device Group via CLI

L1 Bithead

Hello,

As part of a large migration process we're maximizing the use of CLI to create configuration within NW, FW, HA dedicated templates, + template stacks + device groups.

One area that I'm having difficulty with is the renaming of existing device-groups (containing existing member devices) via CLI. I'm aware of commands such as 'set device-group' and 'request move-dg' that we'll use for the migration process, however to comply with new naming conventions I need to also rename some existing device-groups.

Does anyone know of commands that will achieve this please? I searched within the 'request' commands hierarchy, but no luck so far (screenshot attached).

I found in LIVEcommunity - Replace a panorama managed device with a new device (different model) - LIVEcommunit... a reference to a command of type 'rename device-group <Groupname> device <OLD SN#> to <new SN#>" but cannot find this command in Panorama.

 

Thanks in advance, if anyone has ideas on this it would be great !

that's the right command... you do need to be in configuration mode though:

 

> configure

# rename device-group OLDDG to NEWDG

 

 

hope this helps

Thanks Tom !

If ever anyone finds a CLI reference sheet for all the 'request' commands that would be great !! I've recently learned that all I really need to do to find all possible commands is to use the search command:

#find command keyword <keyword>

I no longer have direct access in my current role to any PAN devices, so am relegated to scouring the net for anything beyond my limited experience.
