Subject: Import AOS-S Stack to Central
Hi,
last reply on that thread is more than 6 years ago and ends with the same question how to import stacks retaining the configuration.
Since the conductor already has all the config needed for VSF, does it work without any problems?

Hi,
I read a lot of older posts for this topic but could not find a solution...
I have to import about a dozen AOS-S stacks of 2930F into central, retaining the configuration. I did this for single switches and it worked just fine, of course with Template Groups only.
However, I did not find any documentation from Aruba about importing a stack. I would presume I have to import the conductor switch first...but what then? Before saving the imported configuration, do I have to add variables for the other stack members?
If anyone has experience with this task, I would be very happy if he/she would share.
