Please let me know the configurations to perfom the Multisite search head clustering based on deployer

NOTE:

We have already SH Clustering Environment using deployer..Now we are planning to create a new SH cluster environment by using the existing deployer.

SH clusters don't have multi site awareness, but you can still distribute the members of a SH Cluster over multiple physical sites. You just need to be a bit careful to prevent captain election issues during a site (or inter-site-connection) failure.

For more info and some very important considerations regarding site failures and captain election see: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/DistSearch/DeploymultisiteSHC

You may only manage one SHC per deployer.
