Represents an affinity group of IBM® Content Search Services servers. An affinity group is a group of one or more servers that is dedicated to one or more IBM Content Search Services index areas. An affinity group can contain multiple servers and have multiple index areas assigned to it. Create an affinity group if you want to override the built-in load balancing feature of the Content Engine and dedicate servers to specific index areas.

The Content Engine server uses a load-balancing algorithm to automatically assign IBM Content Search Services servers to indexes according to the indexing workload of the servers. If you want to override this built-in load balancing feature, you can create affinity groups and manually dedicate IBM Content Search Services servers to specific index areas.

An IBM Content Search Services server can belong to, at most, one affinity group. A server that is a member of an affinity group can serve only index areas that are assigned to that affinity group and that belong to the same site as the server. A server that is not a member of an affinity group can serve only index areas that do not belong to an affinity group and belong to the same site as the server.

An IBM Content Search Services index area can be assigned to, at most, one affinity group. An index area that is assigned to an affinity group can be served only by members of the affinity group that belong to the same site as the index area. An index area that is not assigned to an affinity group can be served only by servers that are not members of an affinity group and belong to the same site as the index area.
