Hello community,

I try to find a way to migrate / move an Index Server from Node A to Node B (different Server).

The Index Server has o365 data, so I cant wait to expire and also need them in order to run next backup jobs (from Node B).
 


Any idea how to implement it?

Thank you in advance,
Nikos

Dear @Srabani Das,

Thanks for your reply, you were right.

After execute the workflow, Index migrated and now I continue backup jobs without problems.

One last question, I see that the “old” Index Server is still present in Index Server (under Infrastructure in Command Center) and also I see the previous Roles, usage etc.


Is it safe to delete it?


Thanks again,
Nikos
