Good morning.  In the properties of the MediaAgent, under the Catalog tab...Have you set the new directory here yet?

hi @Mohamed Ramadan  

Did you change it following this Procedure :

  • From the CommCell Browser, expand Storage Resources > MediaAgents.

  • Right-click MediaAgent_name > Properties > Catalog.

  • Click the Browse button, browse to and click an existing folder, and then click the OK button

The system will copy the contents of the original index cache directory to the newly specified index cache directory, and then direct the system to write all subsequent index entries to the new directory. To see the status of the job, look for a Catalog Migration job in the Job Controller tab of the Commcell Console.

 

or You can change the location of index caches on multiple MediaAgents by running the Change Index Cache Configuration workflow.

Hi Mohamed,

it should restore the index from backup if it can’t find it on disk.

Hi @Mohamed Ramadan ,

What is happening if you try Browse & Restore?

Do you backup to tapes?

Do you see Index Restore job?

Do you see folders/files under Browse?

Best Regards,

Sebastien
