Create your server instances (2) and Install Linux.
Install Splunk Enterprise.
Create admin user.
On the one that is to be the Search Head:
1: Configure outputs.conf to send stuff to the Indexer
2: Configure Settings -> Distributed Search -> Search Peers -> Add to be able to search data on the Indexer.

Everything is an Indexer by default. It should be listening on port 9997 out of the box.

As per the https://www.splunk.com/pdfs/training/splunk-architect-certification-lab.pdf
You might need a
