A. 1. Add new indexers to the cluster as peers, to a new site. 2. Ensure new indexers receive common configuration from the CM. 3. Decommission old indexers (one at a time) to allow time for CM to fix/migrate buckets to new hardware. 4. Remove all the old indexers from the CM's list.

B. 1. Add new indexers to the cluster as peers, in the same site (if needed). 2. Ensure new indexers receive common configuration. 3. Decommission old indexers (one at a time) to allow time for CM to fix/migrate buckets to new hardware. 4. Remove all the old indexers from the CM's list.

C. 1. Add new indexers to the cluster as peers, in the same site. 2. Update the replication factor by +1 to Instruct the cluster to start replicating to new peers. 3. Allow time for CM to fix/migrate buckets to new hardware. 4. Remove all the old indexers from the CM's list.

D. 1. Add new indexers to the cluster as new site. 2. Update cluster master (CM) server.conf to include the new available site. 3. Allow time for CM to fix/migrate buckets to new hardware. 4. Remove the old indexers from the CM's list.

Question #7

A new single-site three indexer cluster is being stood up with replication_factor:2, search_factor:2. At which step would the Indexer Cluster be classed as "˜Indexing Ready' and be able to ingest new data?
Step 1: Install and configure Cluster Master (CM)/Master Node with base clustering stanza settings, restarting CM.

Step 5: Install and configure Indexer 2 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle Step 6: Indexer 2 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.
Step 7: Install and configure Indexer 3 so that once restarted, it contacts the CM, downloads the latest config bundle.
Step 8: Indexer 3 restarts and has successfully joined the cluster.
