As a best practice, OpenText recommends dedicating one Filr appliance to Indexing and Net Folder Synchronization, which are very resource-intensive tasks.
Do the following:
Allow Net Folder Synchronization on only the dedicated appliance: Disable Net Folder Synchronization on all other Filr appliances as follows:
Access the Port 9443 administration console.
Click Net Folders.
De-select Allow Synchronization.
Repeat on all other Filr appliances except the one you are dedicating to Net Folder Synchronization.
Now when a Full synchronization occurs (either as a result of a scheduled or manual synchronization), the Filr appliance that you set aside is the one that handles the load.
NOTE:Just-in-time synchronization (JITS) is unaffected and takes place on whichever Filr appliance receives the user request that triggers JITS.
Use Load Balancing to isolate the dedicated appliance from user requests: When you set up load balancing, don’t include the dedicated Filr appliance in the round-robin rotation.
Rebuild the search index using the dedicated appliance: Follow the steps in the next section.
Thereafter, the dedicated appliance will handle all of the re-indexing workload.
