Move Mount Path

Question

Hello,I am in a situation that I need to move a mount path to another mount path. I would like to just have backup jobs from the move path in the destination.Is there a way to prevent new backup jobs being written to the new mount path while the move is running?Something like the bullet points below.BR Henke	Set "Disable mount path for new data" on the destination before initiating the move			Leave the setting untouched while the job runs			Manually clear the flag after the move completes (since the job only auto-clears it on the source, not the destination)

Hi ​@Henke,https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/commcell-console/moving_mount_path_to_existing_device.htmlOperation to move a mount path to an existing device involves the following steps:Note: All of these operations will be automatically managed by the Commvault application.Disables the pruning of data present on the mount path.Validates the source mount path folder and the destination device.During phase 1, the software copies the full volumes from the source mount path folder to the destination device. The software allows the operations like backup, restore, auxiliary copy, data verification, synthetic full and deduplication database (DDB) reconstruction.NoteAfter phase 1, the job selects theDisable mount path for new dataoption that is available in theMount Path Properties -Allocation Policydialog box. Do not change the option when the move mount path operation is in progress. The job automatically clears the option after completion of the move mount path operation.During phase 2, the software suspends backup and other operations for the source mount path and copies the active volumes from the source mount path folder to the destination device.Clears theDisable mount path for new dataoption.Enables the pruning of data.Resumes backup and other operations that are pending.
