Hello Rick, thanks for the reply. I'm not native english spoken, so i could bad explained my needs or not well understand but the below explanation in the documentation (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.6/Indexer/Decommissionasite) seems that replication starts after mapping and the CM restart: To deal with this issue, you can map decommissioned sites to active sites. The bucket copies for which a decommissioned site is the origin site will then be replicated to the active site specified by the mapping, allowing the cluster to again meet its replication and search factors. Regards
