Add the Device IDs in the deviceconversion.txt file.

```
- If you have multiple devices, enter each Device ID in each row: For example:
```
2297
2298
2300
```
- Save the file.
Modify the name of the cloud storage vendor using the UpdateDeviceTypeForDevice Qscript.

Open the command prompt and navigate to the <software installation path>\Base> folder.
Execute the UpdateDeviceTypeForDevice QScript, received from Commvault Customer Support, using the following command:

For example, to move data to Amazon S3, use the following options:
```
 
qscript -f UpdateDeviceTypeForDevice.sqle -i c:\deviceconversion.txt 2 <authorization code>
