Install Splunk on the new VMs and add them to the existing indexer cluster.

Put the old indexers into manual detention

splunk edit cluster-config -auth <username>:<password> -manual_detention on

For each indexer on the old VMs:

  • Down the indexer using the splunk off-line --enforce-counts command
  • Wait for the cluster to balance the buckets.  The indexer will stop itself.

Install a new Cluster Manager on the new VMs.  Point the new indexers to the new CM.

splunk edit cluster-config -mode peer -master_uri https://<CM URI>:8089 -replication_port 9887 -secret your_key

splunk restart

Shut down the old CM.
