You can use the Select Index Server Nodes for Storage Policy workflow to change the MediaAgent used for indexing for a storage policy.
Note
-
To use the Select Index Server Nodes for Storage Policy workflow, you must have the Workflow Engine installed in your CommCell environment, and then download the Select Index Server Nodes for Storage Policy workflow from the Commvault Store. For more information about workflows, see Workflow: Overview.
-
In order to change a MediaAgent, the new MediaAgent must have read/write access to a mount path in the client storage policy's default library.
-
If a primary indexing MediaAgent for a backupset/client is down for more than 30 minutes, the system automatically assigns the backupset/client to another available indexing MediaAgent, even if the backupset/client was specifically assigned to the indexing MediaAgent that went down.
Procedure
-
Open the CommCell Console.
-
In the CommCell Browser, click Workflows.
-
In the Workflows tab, right-click Select Index Server Nodes for Storage Policy and then click Execute.
The Workflow Options dialog box appears.
-
In the Select storage policy list, select a storage policy and then click OK.
Note
Select Remove previous selection if you want to reset any previous selections made for the storage policy.
The Choose Media Agents dialog box appears.
-
In the Select index server nodes list, select one or more MediaAgents and then click OK.
Note
When you select one or more MediaAgents from the list, only those MediaAgents can act as index servers for backupsets or subclients that use the storage policy that you selected in Step 4, above.

Click OK.
