You said it depends on indexer/cluster is heavily loaded or not. <STRONG>Any reasons?</STRONG></P> Tue, 31 May 2016 11:57:49 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Can-I-install-both-cluster-master-and-SHC-Search-Head-Cluster/m-p/276015#M10412 manjunathmeti 2016-05-31T11:57:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Can-I-install-both-cluster-master-and-SHC-Search-Head-Cluster/m-p/276016#M10413 <P>If the Cluster Master is heavily loaded to manage buckets on all Indexers then when you push the bundle to search head cluster from same splunk instance as Deployer it will create more load on server and it might create problem for Indexer Cluster due to resource unavailability.</P> Tue, 31 May 2016 12:16:54 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Can-I-install-both-cluster-master-and-SHC-Search-Head-Cluster/m-p/276016#M10413 harsmarvania57 2016-05-31T12:16:54Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Can-I-install-both-cluster-master-and-SHC-Search-Head-Cluster/m-p/276017#M10414 <P>The documentation confirms that you can run the cluster master and the deployer on the same instance, depending on the master's load: </P> <P><A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.1/Indexer/Systemrequirements#Additional_roles_for_the_master_node">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.1/Indexer/Systemrequirements#Additional_roles_for_the_master_node</A></P> <P>That material includes specifics on load considerations.</P> Tue, 31 May 2016 17:51:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Can-I-install-both-cluster-master-and-SHC-Search-Head-Cluster/m-p/276017#M10414 Steve_G_ 2016-05-31T17:51:12Z
