You can remove an index area from an object store.
Procedure
To remove an index area from an object store:
- In the administration console, verify that another index
area exists for the object store with a status of OPEN:
- Listing index
areas.
- In the details pane, verify that the Resource
Status column of some index area other than the one to
be removed shows OPEN.
- Setting resource
statuses: Index areas. Set the status of the index area to CLOSED.
- Reindexing a
full-text index. Reindex all of the full-text 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. The indexes in the index area are deleted.
- Listing index
jobs. Verify that the index jobs that were created for reindexing
the full-text indexes completed successfully.
- Listing index
areas.
- In the object store navigation pane, right-click the index
area and click Delete. The delete attempt fails if
indexes are still present in the index area.
- Delete the index area from the file system.
