Reusing Imported Media on Destination CommCell

When a library is migrated from a source CommCell to another destination CommCell, by default, the library is not associated with a MediaAgent. Hence the associated media will not move to the scratch pool even after the data is aged. You must enable the option to reuse the media so that the imported media can be reused in the destination CommCell.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the <Destination CommServe>, point to All Tasks | CommCell Migration and then click Import From Folder.

2. Enter the import location in the Import Folder box where the exported metadata is located.

   1. By default, Use local is selected to access imported files from local path.

      Click Use Network for a network location. If you select a UNC path, provide the access credentials to access the import location. Click User Name/Password to provide the user details.

   2. Click Next.

3. Under Select CommCell, select the destination CommServe to import and click Next.

4. Select the Source Library, Mount Path and Mount Path location on the destination CommCell for importing data and click Next.

5. Enter a new name for the client if required. If nothing is specified the old name will be used. Click Next.

6. From the Import Options window, select the Allow imported media to be reused on this CommCell check box and click Next.

7. Review the selected import options for client import and data path and click Next.

8. Click Finish to complete the import operation.
