Hi,

I know there are many articles published for this topic. Just needed to check on one query that i have regarding this activity.

Do we really need to run this last command and what will it actually do in the background.

If i dont run this command is there any issue that will occur or will my index locations still be updated correctly and will users face any issues? 

-- Inform EV that it needs to update the paths of the volumes on service startup 

UPDATE IndexingServiceEntry
SET IVSyncNeeded = 2
WHERE ServiceEntryId = (SELECT IndexServiceEntryId FROM IndexRootPathEntry WHERE IndexRootPathEntryId = @IndexRootPathEntryId)

If you are EV 10 or higher, yes, you need to run that last step.  If you do not I believe you will see some errors in the Event log.  Even if there are not events generated, the last step is required.

For EV 10, you have the correct article and need to follow it exactly. https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO59084.html

I'm not sure what version of EV you have, but if on EV 11 you could use the "Change location" option in the Manage Indexes wizard too.
