Moving VLANs/Hosts to another Rackd controller?

Howdy,

We were hoping to rebuild one of out rackd controllers and are worried as it has many VLANs and VMs on it.

Are there any relevant docs on how to do this? I wasn’t able to find anything on the topic except this one post from a while back: Move nodes from one rack controller to an other

We tried to just delete it previously and there was an error message stating we needed to first move (or remove) these assets before it could be deleted.

I believe we don’t have any official docs about it as it really depends on your setup

That seems kinda strange, surely moving VLANs and hosts to other rackd servers is something people want to do often?

I can’t provide instructions without knowing your topology and what “hosts” you have on that rack. Are these physical machines? Virsh machines? LXD vms?

Once you add a new rack controller MAAS will detect all its vlans depending on its network settings. So you probably want to create a new rack and then start moving things to the other.
