hi,
i have to set up a 3 server env in my sp 2013 farm. i am having 3 boxes, with 3rd box configured as db server, sql server 2012 being installed.
in my first server- server1 central admin is configured with http://myservername:1230/. now i want to configure the second server as index server/crawler such that i have a dedicated server for crawling.
would like to know how to set up crawler in my env.
note: when customer gave us this 3 servers :
1) am having central admin created.
2)in the 2nd server also, i am able to see the same central admin .
whats exactly is the meaning of this? does this 2nd server is not acting as a index server?
does this 2nd server also acting as a WFE ? , ie, am having 2 WFEs and 1 DB server.
3) if i wanna configure crawler ,should i run the config wizard on the 2nd server with a new central administration created with a port num.?
when i was trying to run the already created search serv appln. it gave me " search serv admin. not running " error.
and
4) i have created a new search serv appln and created a content source and crawled the contents.
but when i crawled the contents i am not able to get the crawled properties or managed properties[ i have created 2 columns one single line of text data type and other being managed metadata column in a test document library and uploaded few dummy documents.] is this because of crawler is not configured properly?
5) i have ran that power shell script provided by Paul Stork in one of the threads in this forum to provision the SSA.
6) so i am having a kind of conflicting env. in my sp farm, so what steps i need to apply in order to configure crawler .
help is highly appreciated!
