(if i want to deploy it on the master-node)<BR /> How do I configure the master node to run deployer functions?</P> <P>Thanks in advance!</P> <P>Kind regards,<BR /> pyro_wood</P> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:00:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240807#M9049 horsefez 2016-01-21T16:00:12Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240808#M9050 <P>Just set up the deployer on the same instance as the master node. The process is essentially the same as if you set it up on a totally idle instance. Configuration info starts here: <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/DistSearch/SHCdeploymentoverview#2._Set_up_the_deployer">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/DistSearch/SHCdeploymentoverview#2._Set_up_the_deployer</A> </P> <P>You can also look here: <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/DistSearch/PropagateSHCconfigurationchanges#Choose_an_instance_to_be_the_deployer">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/DistSearch/PropagateSHCconfigurationchanges#Choose_an_instance_to_be_the_deployer</A></P> <P>Be sure to set the pass4SymmKey for the deployer functionality under the [shclustering] stanza of server.conf. It must match the key used by the search head cluster members. This key can be different from the key used by the master node functionality, which you set under the [clustering] stanza. </P> <P>Note that you will need to restart this instance.</P> <P>To ensure that the deployer functionality is compatible with the master node functionality, read: <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/DistSearch/SHCsystemrequirements#Deployer_requirements">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.2/DistSearch/SHCsystemrequirements#Deployer_requirements</A></P> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:22:35 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240808#M9050 Steve_G_ 2016-01-21T16:22:35Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240809#M9051 <P>It's is possible, as the apps template storage folders are different <BR /> Your indexer-cluster cluster-master could be your sh-cluster deployer.</P> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:23:38 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240809#M9051 yannK 2016-01-21T16:23:38Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240810#M9052 <P>Kudos to you Steve! <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:39:45 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240810#M9052 horsefez 2016-01-21T16:39:45Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240811#M9053 <P>Thank you! <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:42:31 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240811#M9053 horsefez 2016-01-21T16:42:31Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240812#M9054 <P>Can I upgrade splunk version on SHC members using deployer? <BR /> If so, how?</P> Wed, 21 Nov 2018 15:18:51 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/How-to-configure-a-deployer-for-a-search-head-cluster-on-an/m-p/240812#M9054 rashi83 2018-11-21T15:18:51Z
