To replace an existing access node with a new access node, you must follow a specific procedure.
Caution
The following procedure prevents all files from being backed up by not directly replacing the existing access node with the new access node.
Procedure
-
Without removing the existing access node, add the new access node as a secondary node.
The existing access node is the primary node, and the new access node is the secondary node.
-
Perform an archive operation on both access nodes.
At this point, the new access node does not have a job results directory for the subclient.
-
Make the new access node the primary node, and the existing access node the secondary node.
-
Perform an archive operation on both access nodes.
-
After the archive operation completes, remove the existing access node.
At this point, the new access node has a job results directory for the subclient.
