Choosing a standby index area activation policy for IBM Content Search Services

To maintain a uniform distribution of input/output among the disks used for searching and indexing, you need to keep a steady number of open index areas.

About this task

To maintain a constant number of index areas in open state, Content Platform Engine needs to open a standby index area as soon as any other index area becomes full. If no standby index areas are available, then Content Platform Engine logs a warning.

To implement this policy, the Content Platform Engine administrator needs to create some standby index areas in advance and assign a priority to each one. Content Platform Engine uses the priority to determine which standby index area to open when another index area becomes full.

The administrator also uses the priority to decide on the storage that is allocated to the index area and to create a backup policy. By default, the priority of each index area is zero, the highest priority.
