Configuring a Search Host Master Server

To install a , configure your Search Host as the Master Server in the Search Host configuration tool.

About this task

By default, the Master Server only performs indexing. To make it perform search as well, place it behind a Network Load Balancer together with the Slave Servers.

Procedure

  1. Install a on a dedicated machine using the Content Manager installer.
  2. Open PowerShell and navigate to the folder %TRIDION_HOME%\bin\, which contains the PowerShell script Configure-Search-Host.ps1.
  3. Run this script with the single parameter master.
  4. In Services in the Control Panel, restart the Windows service called Tridion Content Manager Search Host.
  5. Access the solr-tomcat\conf\ subfolder of the root location and open the file web.xml for reading.
  6. In the security-role element, find the role-name element to identify the user group. All Slave Servers must configure the same Master Server user, who must be a Windows local user and a member of this user group.
  7. To verify, access http://dedicatedserver:8983/tridion/admin/replication/index.jsp, where dedicatedserver is the name of the machine, and where 8983 may be a different port if you configured one.
    The top of the page says 'Solr replication (tridion) Master'.
