Removing an index area

You can remove an index area from an object store.

Procedure

To remove an index area from an object store:

  1. In the administration console, verify that another index area exists for the object store with a status of OPEN:
    1. Listing index areas.
    2. In the details pane, verify that the Resource Status column of some index area other than the one to be removed shows OPEN.
  2. Setting resource statuses: Index areas. Set the status of the index area to CLOSED.
  3. 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.
  4. Listing index jobs. Verify that the index jobs that were created for reindexing the full-text indexes completed successfully.
  5. Listing index areas.
  6. 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.
  7. Delete the index area from the file system.
