<div>In LU-4939, I'm working on exporting and importing the parameters set via lctl conf_param and set_param -P. The output is in yaml, and I've got an importer working in a separate patch that has yet to be accepted upstream.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would you consider having an exporter for the lnetctl and modprobe.conf settings into yaml so that you could migrate between the two methods of setting configuration?</div>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Greetings Developers,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">We are currently using modprobe.conf to configure routes, but we are hoping to reach a point where we can push out new LNET configurations to nodes and have lnetctl apply configuration changes on the fly.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">It would be nice to have the ability to update or "reconcile" the difference between the loaded configuration and an updated configuration being imported. I was exploring how to implement such functionality in lnetctl.
Would others find such functionality useful?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">My current thought is that I'd implement this as a new lnetctl subcommand (i.e. "update"). Does that seem reasonable or would you suggest another interface?<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Thanks,</p>
