Deployment Architecture

After upgrading to Splunk 6.6.0, why are 5 indexes marked as not searchable?

After an upgrade of our small cluster (two indexers, one search head, RF=SF=2) to 6.6.0, 5 indexes are marked as not searchable.
There are 0 "fix up" type tasks. I have tried gracefully restarting both indexers again (one at a time) and no luck there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.alt text

OK the situation appears OK now. This may not be a commonly happening case. I ran the commands below to find the buckets status ;

i) REST call https://ClusterMaster:8089/services/cluster/master/buckets?filter=replication_count%3C2&filter=froze...
List of buckets with "frozen=false" & "replication_count < 2" (RF=SF=2 deployment)

ii) After I get the list of buckets from above, checked individual buckets using https://ClusterMaster:8089/services/cluster/master/buckets/{BID OF BUCKET IN ABOVE LIST}

Strangely there were some buckets without PEER information, which appears that the cluster master has some buckets information that its peers do not have.
Then ran remove_all which worked around the issue :

curl -k -u admin:password https://:8089/services/cluster/master/buckets//remove_all -X POST
