Hardware Refresh of Media Agent and Commserver

Hi @M Torres,

You can move a mount path from one device location to a new device location on the same MediaAgent or another MediaAgent. The destination path can be a local path or a network path.

Please refer to the below document,

hi @M Torres 

Is the CS and MA on a vm?

Hello Wasim,

I need to replace Commserver with same IP address and name on new hardware. Readed it the document, I list below how I understand:

1.-I need Install first MA on new hardware and register like new one on actual Commserver
2.- Proceed with data migration  moving data path from actual Media Agent to new Media Agent

3.- Execute a DR backup on actual Commserver, move it on new hardware.

4.- Shut down services and power off the actual Commserver

5.- Change IP addres/name on the new Hardware by the old Commserver

6.- Install Commserver and restore DR Backup on new Hardware.

7.- Test 

It’s correct? 

Thanks for your help

Hello Amey,

No, MA and Commserver are installed both on same physical server. 

Hello Torres,

Were you able to complete the task successfully?

I am also into same situation and my data size is also huge ( 10TB+)

I thought that I may need to copyu data manually fom old server to new and then use move data path option ( i was under impression that this option just moves metadata and not actual files).

Hello Yogesh

Yes, I perform a copy of backup data (local disk library) with Robocopy tool, but you don’t perform any backup tasks or suspend any jobs that are running before start these copy and disable all Job activity on Activity Control from Commcell Properties.   

The migration and hardware renewal were successful

I’m soryy for my last redaction... you don’t perform any backup task AND suspends any jobs that are running before start the data copy. And disablle all job activity on Activity Control from Commcell Properties.

Don’t forget also move the DDB 

Hi Torres,

i did same thing and its working fine.

i dont think we need to change DDB becuase i am using Glbal DDB which is on commserve with mediaagent .
