Hello,

We are running into the issue with Office365 restore jobs when we refreshed the Media agent few weeks ago. All restore jobs would still need the old MA content Lib alive, which is we do not want it . So what ‘s the best way to move these Content to the new MA ?

Thanks

Kent

Does MA 02 still exist?

On the Storage Policy with MA/Library 02, add a Copy using MA/Library 03.  Aux Copy the jobs from 02 to 03.  Once 03 is in sync, you can promote it to be Primary and disable the 02 copy.  This is a standard process for moving jobs from old to new storage.

Thanks,
Scott

Hey Scott,

MA02/Library is a Physical server connects direct to the NetApp_Lib storage pool via window shared.

but MA03 is a VM and has limited 2TB on local storage Drive (content data is about 10TB) . is it still doable ?

 

Thanks

Yes, the process will still work.

The NetApp storage is using NAS?  If so, for future reference you can change MAs accessing NAS storage without having to move around any data.  It’s when the storage is local to a MA that you need to go through the process of migrating the data.

Thanks,
Scott
