Export/Import projects with nodes on several remote servers #1534

Open grossmj opened 5 years ago

grossmj commented 5 years ago

As discussed in https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/issues/1520

The current problem is we export portable project with compute_id references set to local. This means for projects with several remote servers configured, import will result ALL appliances running on the main server only.

Hi, are there any plans to address this?

Actually, I faced a situation slightly stranger:

I have a project where some nodes were deployed locally and some of them were deployed on a remote server.
I exported a portable project and re-imported it
After importing, instead of having everything local, I had the nodes redistributed at random between local and all my remote servers.

This is an undesirable behavior: I should be able to choose on which server each node is deployed.
