Modifying the Deployment.xml file for a FAST 2010 search server farm

Stacy Simpkins

Here’s an example of a deployment file for a three server farm, 1 admin, 1 query, and 1 back end server,
deploymentxml

The file above is based off the multi server example found on this page: thttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff381240(v=office.14).aspx#BKMK_ConfigureAMultipleServerDeployment

The xml shows how the example code was modified:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <deployment comment="FAST Search Server three node deployment example" xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/enterprisesearch">   <instanceid>FASTSearchMultiNodeDemo <--- Changed to the mancave</instanceid>
<!-- NOTE: Host names "fastserver1.contoso.com", "fastserver2.contoso.com" and "fastserver3.contoso.com" must be changed to the actual server names in use   -->   <connector-databaseconnectionstring />
<host name="Changed to 2010App1....">
<admin />
<indexing-dispatcher />
<content-distributor />
<webanalyzer server="true" link-processing="true" lookup-db="true" />
<document-processor processes="2" />
</host>
<host name="Changed to 2010App1... SECTION and Deleted.">
<searchengine row="0" column="0" /> <--- Moved to 2010app1 section
</host> <---Deleted
<host name="Changed to 2010Web1...FQDN...">
<searchengine row="1" column="0" />
<query />
</host>
<searchcluster>
<row id="0" index="primary" search="true" />
<row id="1" index="none" search="true" />
</searchcluster>
</deployment>
