The Index Server is a logical CommCell entity that uses clients to support different Commvault indexing, search, and analytics products and features. Install the Index Store package on clients in your CommCell environment, and then add and configure Index Servers.
Step 1: Install the Web Server
You must have a Web Server deployed in your CommCell Environment. For information, see Installing the Web Server.
Step 2: Install the Index Store Package
You can install the Index Store package on any supported clients in your CommCell environment. For instructions, see Installing the Index Store Package.
Step 3: Add and Configure the Index Server in Your CommCell Environment
Add the Index Server client to your CommCell environment and configure the Index Server roles to support the Commvault product or feature. For more information, see Adding an Index Server Entity to Your CommCell Environment.
Step 4: Configure Network Access
If you use a firewall, create a direct connection between the index server and the Web Server. This can be either a one-way or two-way connection.
Make sure that the Web Server can access the index server page. This is http://indexservername:port/solr. For example, http://indexserver:20000/solr. After you create the index server, it might take the Web Server two to three hours to be able to access the index server page.
