Shutdown Networker, tar up the /nsr directory and untar it on the new
drives.

Start up networker.

I am running NetWorker server 7.1.3 on a Sun v480 with Solaris 9. We
are going to add a new RAID array to the box tomorrow to use for
storing NetWorker's index data. We have some clients with a lot of
files so they have a large index. What's involved with moving these
indexes to a new disk volume? One client's index is around 3GB, but
the next largest are only around 1GB in size. I assume I need to fill

in the hidden "index path" field in each client's client entry?
Right? But do I just cp over the files from our old /nsr volume to
the new /nsr2 volume?

Why not just:
1.  stop networker
2.  mount new volume as /nsr2
3. tar (I like tar, use what you like) from old to new
4.  unmount both /nsr and /nsr2
5.  mount the new array as /nsr
6.  start networker

This strategy will not provide enough disk capacity. I want to keep some clients' indices on /nsr and others on /nsr2 for the existing clients. New clients will need to go on the new /nsr2 volume. Does that make sense?

Gotcha now.  "Index Path" then.

Modify selected clients' "Index Path" with new path
Stop NetWorker
Move selected clients from /nsr to /nsr2
Restart NetWorker
Verify by running "nsrinfo <client name>
