Sorry, I just noticed that we are in the ECC forum not the SE folder. I don't think there is a way to do this in ECC, and the way I was looking for in SE will not work between group types.
If you still want to accomplish this in SE you can probably do an export of the two DGs and then manually edit the file before importing into the CG. This is likely the first thing I would try.
There are some commands for moving devices between CGs, and even between DGs in newer code) but I can't find anything to directly move from one or more DGs to a CG.
Thanks, that's what I did. I exported both groups, combined the files, put 'CGTYPE_REGULAR' as the first line, and imported it. I was just wondering if there was a more elegant way!
No problem. When it comes to this stuff there is rarely anything I would call and "elegant way"... I generally look for the "least painful way" and hope that it doesn't have any hidden gotchas
This works fairly well and is what we use with our MSC Consistency Groups.
You can then remove the DG if you do not plan on ever using them though it is OK to have DGs and CGs containing the same devices on the same host and can be nice if you need to handle them differently.
Wow, not sure how I missed that one. I saw your note and immediately grabbed my handy SymCLI reference, and today "dg2cg" was there (I swear it wasn't there yesterday)

Anyone else have any great ideas?

Do you want to do this migration without affecting any RDF connections already in place, or are you OK with resynching everything from scratch?

I moved this thread to the Solutions Enabler forum because it is more focused on SE than ControlCenter.
