Updating existing index location with data

Question

So I understand that when adding a new Index location, the location should empty.

However, we will be migrating indexes to a different NetApp Filer. So the path for the indexes will change.

During this migration the indexes will be copied to the new location and only after that we will get the new paths.

In this case, we wont be able to add the Index location as it already has data in it and wont be able to update the SQL entries as per:

Is it possible to update these entries after the data is copied or do we have to update the new path before the copy starts.

Hi,You can make the following operation for minimize the time without EV :- Make a first copy of your EV Index in the new location- Stop all EV services- Make a robocopy&nbsp;of your EV Index in the new location for copy only the delta- Use SQL Query for update the path- Start all EV servicesRegards,Antoine

Thank you Titoine31.I will test this in our test environment first and check if this works.By the way, is /MIR the correct parameter for delta only robocopy?

Yes, it is ;-)You can use something like that : Robocopy &lt;source&gt; &lt;destination&gt; /MIR /R:3 /W:3 /Log+:c:	emp\IndexCopy.logAntoine

Thank you again.&nbsp;I tried these steps but maybe I am missing something.Is this the correct query for updating the path after the robocopy:&nbsp;Spoiler (Highlight to read)Update IndexRootPathEntrySet IndexRootPath = '\servernew\path\Index1'where IndexRootPath = '\serverold\path2\Index1'Update IndexRootPathEntrySet IndexRootPath = '\servernew\path\Index1'where IndexRootPath = '\serverold\path2\Index1'&nbsp;

You want move Index Location on the sema server or on another server in your EV Site ?It's not the same SQL query ;-)

Only the storage server is changing. That is the index data needs to be migrated to another&nbsp;NetApp vfiler server.So no changes as such in the index server or the site.
