How do I remove 1 index partition while preserving the index? (Network Steve Forum)

How do I remove 1 index partition while preserving the index?

Got this - how do I delete the Index partition so I don't have the (2) - while I preserve the content of the index?

Hi,

Could you find the ComponentID of the index replica (2) of Index Partition 0 with the PowerShell script as below?

$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$active = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Active
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchComponent -SearchTopology $active

Also please show me the result.

If you can find the ComponentID, you can remove it with the following PowerShell script:

$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$active = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Active
$clone = New-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Clone SearchTopology $active

# Remove Search Component
Remove-SPEnterpriseSearchComponent -Identity "ComponentID" -SearchTopology $clone -confirm:$false

# Activate  Search Topology Again
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -Identity $clone

Hi Eric

Thank you for answering - The TopologyID and ServerID (all correct) - and if I try to remove the one I think it is: IndexComponent12

On the WFE1 I've got 2 index folders that each takes a lot of diskspace - it's this that I'm trying to fix

I get an error:

Remove-SPEnterpriseSearchComponent : Sequence contains no elements

Hi,

I can see that there are three Index Components in your WFE1 server and you want to remove Index Component 12 whose ComponentId is 14ed4198-fb31-4aab-906c-fb0c6b850044.

So please check your PowerShell Script as below:

$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$active = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Active
$clone = New-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Clone SearchTopology $active

# Remove Search Component
Remove-SPEnterpriseSearchComponent -Identity 14ed4198-fb31-4aab-906c-fb0c6b850044 -SearchTopology $clone -confirm:$false

# Activate  Search Topology Again
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -Identity $clone

Hi,

How about the PowerShell script as below:

$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$active = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Active
$clone = New-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa -Clone SearchTopology $active

# Get the Index Search Component ID To Remove
$indexComponentID = (Get-SPEnterpriseSearchComponent -SearchTopology $clone -Identity IndexComponent12).componentID

# Remove Search Component
Remove-SPEnterpriseSearchComponent -Identity $indexComponentID.GUID -SearchTopology $clone -confirm:$false
# Activate  Search Topology
Set-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -Identity $clone

Eric
