Hello Team,

 

Currently we have two physical media agent servers and using only index cache. The deduplication feature is enabled on target end (Dedup appliance).

 

Now we want to add two new media agent servers and after few days will remove old media agent servers.

 

Shall we move indexing data from old media agent to new media agent servers.

Hi ​@AnandK  

 

Yes, you can move the index cache from your old MediaAgent servers to the new ones. This is a common scenario when migrating or replacing MediaAgents in a Commvault environment.

You can also use the Change Index Server workflow to move all of the indexing associations from one MediaAgent to another MediaAgent. This method is useful for bulk changes to indexing MediaAgent associations.
