Moving the host node of Elastic search to another node
We have already implemented Elastic search in the pega nodes in production. We are currently in the process of restructuring them and moving them to the other nodes.Currently we have more than 2 million work objects in production.
1 - Considering the volume can we simply copy the mount from one server to the other and then re-configure the index to point to the new server?
2- Do we need to create the new mounts from scratch and then run the re-indexing job?
Hi DIVAKARJEY12,
Theoritically, moving or mounting the entire PegaSearchIndex directory alongwith the index files to another Index host should work provided you have stopped the incoming traffic to existing environment and ensured the Pega-SearchEngine Agent has been gracefully stopped. I do not think you need to re-index from scratch provided the index files are not corrupted or locked. It may not be difficult to try these in a lower environment to see if it works before you have the confidence to do it in production.
