indexers cold buckets path

Hi everyone,

I have 3 indexers with this specification

1.7 TB  local ssd for HOT & WARM Buckets

1.7 TB local ssd for data models

27 TB  SAN Storage for  COLD buckets

replication factor:  3

search factor:  2

 

Now I want to add 2 indexers which have local ssd just like other servers but for now I can't provide SAN Storage for COLD Buckets.

So as I mentioned and because of my RF which is 3, my cold buckets spread exactly as my settings.


My question is:
Is there a problem to add my new indexers now and after a while add SAN Storage to them?
