How to rename an existing FortiGate VDOM

fortigate

I need to rename an existing Fortigate 100D VDOM. I cannot find the command unless it's really counter-intuitive. Furthermore, if this is not possible, can I copy the existing VDOM to a new one with the correct name?

Best Answer

Be forewarned, you will probably need to reboot the Fortigate for the changes to take place.

  1. Backup your entire config (not just the vdom)
  2. Open the config in a text editor
  3. Do a Search and replace of the old vdom name with the new name.
  4. Save the config under a new name, so that you have a backup of the old config.
  5. Restore the new config.
  6. Your vdoms should now be renamed.
