+1Hi,
One of our Media agent is down. It has windows server OS. We are unable to bring up the server. Currently MA is offline. The server also have over 10TB of critical backed up data on it.
Our OS team has failed to bring up the server. Please suggest how can we recover from this situation.

There is a workflow that can automate moving the Media Agent, data, DDB etc.
Once you set up the new media agent, try this workflow - select the old MA, new MA and it will walk you through the rest:

What issue do you see when booting the server?
Is there an error message?
We need more context in order to provide advice.

Anyway
+1It was server OS issue.
Now we have this situation:
Our MA is online. Disk library on it is fine.
We are planning for MA migration. Someone please provide the best way to migrate MA and disk library on it.
+20Have your new node be ready and configure a second copy that uses the new MA. Run an AUX copy and at a certain point you promote the secondary copy to primary copy and you are done.

I assume this is Local Disk on the MA? Rebuilding the OS might be the best bet.
Once the situation is resolved, I highly recommend setting up a secondary copy.
Thanks,
