Hello All,

I have a use case where I have 30 pairs of primary and backup elements (same protocol) that I want to associate to 30 different redundancy groups for conditional alarming purposes.

• Note: each backup can only act as a backup for its paired primary (the pairs of devices cannot be shared amongst the other pairs).

I'm exploring this route since conditional alarm rules within alarm templates do not allow for cross-element configurations.

I was able to create a single redundancy group that was statically mapped to one single pair of elements with my desired switching detection. However, thinking about how to replicate this configuration 29 more times, rather than manually reconfiguring each RG and switching-detection block by hand, I wanted to see if I could define a single RG template from which I could spawn the 30 individual RGs since they will all have the same switching detection logic.

However, after creating the template, I cannot find a way to duplicate or create a redundancy group from the template. If this is not possible or the intention of the template, I am left wondering what the use case for the template is over a regular RG since they both function and are configured very similarly - aside from defining the associated protocol upfront in the template.

As an alternative, is there an xml file present on the system pertaining to my first RG that I'd be able to copy and modify to quickly get the rest created?

Thank you in advance!
