searchctl folders list

There will be 1 snapshot alias and 2 snapshots present on the PowerScale related to this folder.  To identify the related snapshots, the naming convention followed is:

iglssrch-<folder id>

where <folder id> is the id returned from the searchctl folders list command.  

Once identified, the snapshot alias and snapshots should be deleted manually.

Known Limitations

T9530 Files in linked folders cannot be indexed for full content

Files that are in a folder on the PowerScale that is sym-link to another folder cannot be indexed for full content due to the fact the PowerScale snapshots refer to physical path and sym-linked folders cannot be differentiated.

Workaround: Linked folders can be indexed for meta-data.

—————————————————–

T10290 Modifying folder index definition takes effect next full or incremental index

If the folder index definition in Search & Recover is modified (for example to change fullIncludes or metaIncludes) the change will only take effect on the next full or incremental index.

Workaround: None required.

—————————————————–

T10306 Error creating incremental ingestion job loses data from that interval

T10548 Indexing zip file may exceed maximum index file size

On index of a zip file, even if the zip file itself falls below maximum file size for indexing once extracted for indexing it may exceed maximum file size and will be unable to be indexed. There is no recording of error on this indexing error.

Workaround: Consider whether zip files need to be indexed for content, if not they can be excluded from content indexing.
