Transfer existing events to new volume

sigma
Path Finder

Hi all,

I created a volume and changed all homePath for all indexes to use this volume.
Now I can't search on events that existed before this volume was created, and the search heads only show events that are on this volume.
How can I move old and existing events to this volume so I can search on them?

Thank you.

The old events cannot be searched because they're on the old volume.  Indexers have only one volume definition so they only know the current volume.

Use OS tools to copy the directories from the old volume to the new one then restart the indexers.
