Search and failover...

Andy Knipp

OK, Windows server, upgrading from 6.7 to 7.1

We have ServerA and ServerB, both loaded with TS and a shared backingstore on T: There is an app that prevents both servers from being live and the DNS entry maps to the live server. Been working for a number of years.

Now I am upgrading to 7 and they would like search. Easy enough. But my question is what needs to be shared ? Event DB ? Separate for each server or a shared one ? I am really hoping for separate but then how does the index get build when failover occurs ?

Anyone do this on 6.7 or 7 ? How well does search work ?

TIA

Andy
