Split organization to new (Different region)

[Ridmen]

Currently our MX is located in Asia and attached to the UK Organization, what is the best way to split from the UK Org and create a new one here in Asia other than unclaim devices then claim in a new Org. 

If that is the case, will all configurations be retained?”

Organisations can not be moved. The only way is to create a new organisation in the region you want and move config manually between the organisations. You could also use the Meraki API to automate most of the tasks.

Can an organization split be used to split an organization into a new global region?

No. The new organization is created on the same Meraki backend server as the original organization. For regionalization, a new organization would need to be created in the desired global region, as outlined in the article Creating a Dashboard Account and Organization.

Note that multiple organizations can be linked together under a single login by using the same username and password when creating a new organization.

Okay, ready?

First, The Hows:

1. As a Full Access Administrator for the old organization contact Meraki Support
2. Then share with them those details:
   1. The new network to move to.
   2. The new organization name.
   3. And a list of other administrators to move as well.

After that Meraki Support will move the Networks, Devices and the Configuration to the new organization in Asia.

But The Buts:

1. You may.. just may get a brief disruption during the process.
2. Also about licensing, make sure to contact Meraki Support once again to transfer licenses for your devices to your new network.
3. The process is irreversible when completed, so the two organizations are separate and cannot be combined.
4. Keep in mind that some items won't be transferable:
   1. Configuration templates.
   2. Historical videos from MV cameras. (unless requested during the split process)
   3. Event/Change logs.
   4. And for Auto VPN, you should consider reconfiguring it differently afterwards if the two places are using it already.

Otherwise, you can follow the manual process which I don't recommend because there's a higher risk of losing your device's configuration and facing a longer downtime.

~Hope that helps
