Migrate off of a default backup proxy to a pool?

[t7MevELx0]

Are you working on an easier way to move orgs with its job/repos off of the default backup proxy to a proxy pool? It's extremely unfortunate that these orgs can be "stranded" on that default backup proxy. I wish I could prevent new orgs from being created on it and force the system to use the pool. I don't want orgs on the default backup proxy.

Hi,

Please elaborate on what you mean by moving an organization off the default proxy.
An organization is not tied to any proxies. You create a repository and specify which proxy or proxy pool should work with it.

I think you can change the repository from pool with a powershell cli... from UI is greyed-out.

Yes, that's what I mean; move whatever is assigned to the default backup proxy to the pool.

this will allow you to do that

edit: here's an example

$repositoryIds = @(
"xxx",
"xxx",
"xxx",
"xxx",
"xxx"
)

$proxy = Get-VBOProxy -Id "xxx"
or
$pool = Get-VBOProxyPool -Name "xxx"

foreach ($repoId in $repositoryIds) {
$repository = Get-VBORepository -Id $repoId
Start-VBORepositoryOwnerChangeSession -Repository $repository -Proxy $proxy -ForceStopSessions
}

or

foreach ($repoId in $repositoryIds) {
$repository = Get-VBORepository -Id $repoId
Start-VBORepositoryOwnerChangeSession -Repository $repository -Pool $pool -ForceStopSessions
}

Wow, that's great. I'll give that cmdlet a try and see if it lets me move something off of the default backup proxy to the pool. Thanks for posting that. I'll let you know how it works out.

I don't see a way to edit my previous post, but that PowerShell cmdlet works great. I used AI to expand on the script and I have something I can keep using to move any stragglers to my pool. Thanks again!
