We just migrated over to a multisite indexer cluster and we're seeing "Search Factor" (SF) and "Replication Factor" (RF) are not met. Below is the server.conf setting we have on the master node:
[clustering]
cluster_label = *****
mode = master
#pass4SymmKey = *****
pass4SymmKey = *****
replication_factor = 4
available_sites = site1,site2
multisite = true
site_replication_factor = origin:2,total:4
site_search_factor = origin:2,total:4
The setup is 2 indexers per site and there are 2 sites. As you can see HA is a big deal here so they wanted to max out the RF and SF.
We're also seeing a bunch of fixups with the message below:
Missing enough suitable candidates to create replicated copy in order to meet replication policy. Missing={ site1:2 }
I've seen some posts that say changing the replication factor to 2 fixed this issue in the past. If we do that, would leaving the site RF at "site_replication_factor = origin:2,total:4" still give us 4 copies across the 4 indexers?
Thanks
