Migrating Shared Disk Libraries

You can migrate a shared disk library to another MediaAgent within the CommCell.

Procedure

• To migrate a disk library, the target MediaAgent must have access to the same mount path as the source MediaAgent.

• The user must have mount paths that are accessible to the target MediaAgent. After migration, ensure that all mount paths are online or accessible.

• From the CommCell Browser, expand Storage Resources | Libraries | <Library>.

• Right-click the <Mount Path> that you want to migrate to another MediaAgent, and then click Share Mount Path.

• In the Mount Path Properties dialog box, select the <Mount Path>, and then click Share.

• In the Share Mount Path dialog box, do the following:

  1. Select the <MediaAgent> that you want to migrate to.

  2. Click Local Path.

  3. In the Disk Device box, enter the file path where the data must be located.

  4. After you specify the local path, manually copy the content that is available in the source MediaAgent to the new (target) MediaAgent.

  5. Click OK.

• Click OK.

  The disk library is now associated with the selected <MediaAgent>.

• Make the new MediaAgent the default data path for all the storage policies that were associated with the old MediaAgent by following the steps described in Configuring Alternate Data Paths for Primary Copies.

  Note

  If a single disk library, which is configured as the data path on the storage policy copy, is deconfigured prior to assigning the new disk library as the data path, change the data path of the associated storage policy. For more information, see Change Default Data Path.
