resizing index instance volumes

Hi ,

Recently we added new volumes and new indexes for index instances. Now I need to increase the size of new volume and reduce the size of main index which is on old volume. I just started working with splunk and got the cluster. Is there any document which can point me for administering the cluster volumes.

Thanks,

NP

Hi
here you can find documentation about Indexers Clusters http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.0/Indexer/Aboutclusters
Anyway the updates you want to perform must be done modifying indexes.conf configuration files on Master Node and then deployed to all Search Peers (see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.0/Indexer/Managesinglepeerconfigurations ).

Bye.
Giuseppe
