We are migrating clients with their LTR backups on tapes to the new Commcell. Question: what happens to the retention rules? will they be applied in the new CS and aged as per retention rules?

Please refer to this documentation

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/frequently_asked_questions_for_commcell_migration.html#how-do-we-age-data-from-migrated-storage-policies-is-it-done-from-source-commcell-environment-or-from-destination-commcell-environment

The software performs data aging in the source CommCell environment based on the retention period. If you migrated a MediaAgent that contains a library that any migrated storage policy uses to the destination CommCell environment, you must enable data aging on migrated library and storage policy manually in the destination CommCell environment.
