Prepare the CommServe-MediaAgent Computer

Preparing the existing CommServe-MediaAgent computer for separating the CommServe includes preventing new jobs from running, copying the index cache folder, and moving the local mount path folder.

Procedure

1. On the CommServe-MediaAgent computer, stop all running jobs or wait for the jobs to complete.

2. Disable all CommCell activities:

   1. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the CommServe node, and then click Properties.

   2. On the Activity Control tab, clear all the check boxes, except for the Enable All Job Activity check box.

   3. Click OK.

      All new jobs, except the disaster recovery operations, are prevented from starting.

3. Make a note of all the disk libraries that are configured on the CommServe computer.

4. Copy the contents of index cache folder to another accessible location.

   For example, if you installed the Commvault software in C:\ directory, the index cache folder is located in the C:\Program Files\CommVault\ContentStore folder.

5. If you have a disk library configured and data is written to that library, move the local mount path folder to an accessible location.

   For instructions, see Move Mount Path.

6. Alternatively, you can copy the mount path folder manually.

   For example, if you have disk library with a local mount path in C:\DiskLibrary, verify that the mount path is copied to the DiskLibrary folder.
