EV Indexing Server minimum services
Hello,
I install a new Indexing server and added to the Index Server Group, moved all the indexes removed the old server.
Now, indexing tasks stay stuck in "Inactive" forever.
All items are archived and indexed, the Index location are not in backup mode nor are the store partition.
Question 1:
What are the minimum EV Services required in a indexing server?
I only install "Tasks Controller Service" and "Indexing Service", the old server had the "Shopping Service", is it required in the indexing server, I have the "Shopping Service" install on the main server (All EV service installed).
What else can I investigate?
Hello
You need at least Administration/Directory/Indexing/Taskcontroller service.
Are we talking the tasks like Verify/Sync/Rebuild, or the Index Admin task itself?
If the first, it might be the index admin task is not having a schedule. Can you right click Index Administration Task, and select Run Now. (on the indexing server). when it says 'processing', check again in the index monitor page. Verify the indexlocations are not in backup mode. If possible, clear backup mode on indexes on the site-level, even if EV shows no backup mode is set.
Was this an existing task? Then see if you can stop it, then create a new task doing the same. If that works, there might be a reference to the 'old' indexing service somewhere. (applies to both the index admin task as to sync/verify/rebuild)
If necessary, stop Indexservice, and task controller, start dtrace on indexserver, start services. See if you spot something there.
