Removing an index area

You can remove an index area from an object store.

To remove an index area from an object store:

  1. Verify that another index area exists for the object store with a status of OPEN.
  2. Changing the status of an index area. Set the status of index area to CLOSED.
  3. 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.
  4. Listing index jobs. Verify that the index jobs that were created for reindexing the indexes have completed successfully.
  5. In the Enterprise Manager navigation pane, expand the object store node that contains the index area.
  6. Select the Index Areas node to display the configured index areas.
  7. 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.
  8. Delete the index area from the file system.
