Hi,

I need to move the index directory on the index server node.

Documentation and Arlie point to the workflow IndexServerDirectoryMove but this does not exist in the current environment and it is not available on the store.

It is also not possible to manually change the directory location as the path in the edit node screen is greyed out.

I hope anyone can help me with this issue.

Hi ​@dude,

Thank you for the documentation but this documentation is for the index cache on the media agent.

I need to move the index directory on the node for the index server that is used for MS365 index. It was not configured correctly so now lives on the C: drive causing errors and potentially issues when the drive fills up.

Thank you ​@dude.

I can change the path in the CommCell console at that location. I was only looking in the command center interface and did not think about the java console.

I will test this tomorrow after all data has been copied over to the new location. Are you sure CV will accept this change as the command center directory path is greyed out?

 

Too bad that Commvault no longer has the workflow for this. That would have made this much easier and less error prone.

I have the same behavior. I cant edit in Command Center but allows me to change in Java UI.
