CommVault Client migration

Hello all

 

Our Business is currently in the process of migrating our existing services hosted in a onprem data centre into the cloud hosted by a third party.

 

As part of this migration we have a number of existing VMs which host both Oracle and SQL databases which will be migrated as is including the current IP.

Our CommVault backup solution has now been configured with new media agents and associated Cloud Library & GlobalDDB. We have also started to build out plans based on the existing plans with the exception these are now using the new libraries / media agents etc.

What is the best method to update the existing clients to point them at the new plans / media agents just as I’ve seen on the client properties under “Network” and “Network Summary” there are details in a file called “FwConfigLocal.txt”. This has details pointing to the old Media Agents, are we meant to manually edit this on each client after the migration to point at the new Media Agents? If so how do I locate the “remote_guid=” details for the new media agents?

 

Thanks

 

John

    Hi ​@John_Bevan ,

    Once the new Media Agent is set up and mapped to the new plan, kindly de-associate the sub client from the existing plan and associate it with the new plan that includes the newly configured MA.

    This will automatically direct the sub client to use the new MA associated with the updated plan.
