At the "About upgrading to 6.2 - READ THIS FIRST" page, it states:
"This opens two network ports by default on the local machine: 8191 (for KV Store) and 8065 (for Appserver.) "
I want to upgrade my Splunk 5 search head to Splunk 6 today and upgrade all my indexers next week. In the meantime, I wanted to know if the indexers and search head will be communicating on these new ports? I assume so, but this statement isn't so explicit. When it says the ports are opened "on the local machine," it's not clear who the local machine will be communicating with when the new ports are opened.
Thanks.
