Applying New Snapshots to Templates

The Infoblox Platform allows you to update an existing template using a new snapshot from another server. When you first create a template, the Infoblox Platform took a snapshot of the services running on a selected server. If you have since added or removed services on another server and want to use the service snapshot of this server to update an existing template, you can do so through the re-snapshotting feature on the server.

To update an existing template through re-snapshotting, do the following:

  1. Log in to the Infoblox Portal.

  2. Click the Configure > Servers tab.

  3. Select the server from which you want to take a service snapshot.

  4. Click the … icon and choose Re-snapshot from the menu.

  5. In the Re-snapshot dialog, click the template to which you want to apply the new snapshot.

  6. Click the arrow to move the template to the SELECTED section.

  7. Click Save & Close. 

The template is now updated with the new snapshot and services. Once you save the updated template, services on all Locked servers to which you have applied the template will reconcile to reflect the changes you have made to the template. For example, if you add a new service to the template, the new service will start on the Locked servers once you save the template.
