How to configure Search Head in one of the Index Server

[christay]

Hi I have the following setup :

1 x Node Master with 2 x indexer ( Clustering)

How can I configure to designate one of the indexer as my search head server.

Currently the default search head is pointing to my Node Master.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi all, thanks for the input. I will relook into my design.

Now this isn't really the best idea and you really should get a stand alone search head ASAP, but if you run searches from the Cluster Master user interface, then the searches will search the data on both indexers...

If you have an index cluster, you don't want to use an indexer was a search head. Indexers in a cluster should only have that one role, and no others.
