Removing an index area
You can remove an index area from an object store.
To remove an index area from an object store:
- Verify that another index area exists for the object store with a status of
OPEN
.
- Changing the status of an index area. Set the status of index area to
CLOSED
.
- Reindexing an index. Reindex all of the indexes that exist in the index area. Because the index area has a status of
CLOSED
, the reindexing causes the index data to be moved to another index area.
- Listing index jobs. Verify that the index jobs that were created for reindexing the indexes have completed successfully.
- In the Enterprise Manager navigation pane, expand the object store node that contains the index area.
- Select the Index Areas node to display the configured index areas.
- Right-click the configured index area that you want to delete and click Delete. The delete attempt fails if indexes are still present in the index area.
- Delete the index area from the file system.
