Hi,
How do we relocate the KVstore on to a new location in a search head cluster.
I heard that there are some settings on the server.conf which would help in relocating the KVstore but what is the safest way to do it in a cluster without causing any KV store errors ??
Thanks
Tested on SHC which has 3 members:
To change the default kvstore path to a different mount point in SHC, below steps can be doable.
Above steps worked.
You will need to do it one member at a time.
Take the member out of the cluster.
shut member down
Follow instructions to move kvstore
Start member
Add member to cluster
Repeat on next cluster member.
I don't believe so, the cluster will not recognize changes made by edits to the ../etc/system/local/server.conf.
If you're concerned...then you could shut the entire cluster down and move the location. Just requires and outage.
If we do that won't there be any errors if the member joins back with a different KV store location than others ? ?
yup, but how do you do it in a cluster without any errors ??
