The Index Server roles support specific operations for various Commvault products and features. After you add an Index Server, you can add or remove roles configured on the Index Server.
Warning
If you remove a role from the Index Server, then the data associated with that role is also deleted from the Index Server. Before removing the role, ensure that you no longer require the data associated with that role.
