Hi,

I updated my dev server to 6.1 and when I try to access my search peers, I get the following error:

I am having the same issue!!! Upgrade to 6.1 has all indexes being updated fine, but no searches are being returned. Saying "search peer error".

From 6.03 to 6.1. Yes, I went into distributed search -> search peers on the search-head.

What version were you upgrading from?

By search peers, you mean your indexers? Were you trying to log into them directly?
