Getting Data In

About datamodel in deploy environment.

In my environment, I have two indexers for one Search head and I created a data model in Search head for accelerating searching.

Now, I want to know how is the data model created on two indexers.

Do each have exactly the same data model?
Or each have one data model in a dispersed form?

I am sorry for the rudimentary question, but could anyone tell me about it?

When you create the data model on the search head, it distributes the required search components to the indexers. The only time a real "configuration" is placed on the Indexers is when you accelerate your data models. In this case, the accelerated data is stored on the indexers.

Simple answer : You dont need to place data model configurations anywhere but the search head. Unless you want to share and use the data model structures on other SH or IDX.
