Configuring the service group for a Search service application using the wizard

The SharePoint Search Configuration Wizard allows you to create or delete a service group. However, you cannot modify an existing service group using the wizard. To modify a SharePoint Search service application, you must first delete any associated service groups. After modifying the application, you need to create the service groups again.

To configure the application service group using the wizard

Launch the wizard from Start > All Programs > Veritas > Veritas Cluster Server > Configuration Tools > SharePoint Search Configuration Wizard or, on Windows 2012 operating systems, from the Apps menu in the Start screen.
Review the prerequisites and other instructions on the Welcome panel, and click Next.
On the Group Selection panel, select Create service group and click Next.
On the System Selection panel, provide the following input:
- Provide a name for the service group.
- Select systems in the Available Cluster Systems list and click the left-arrow button.
  Select one or more systems, according to the number of nodes on which to configure the service group.
  To remove a system from the list, select it again and click the right-arrow button.
- Specify the priority order of the systems by using the up or down arrow buttons in the Systems in Priority Order list.
- To enable the service group to automatically come online on one of the systems, select the Include selected systems in the service group's AutoStartList attribute checkbox.
Click Next.
On the Farm Admin User panel, specify the password for the Farm Admin user.
The Farm Name and Farm Admin User Name are populated automatically.
On the Component Selection panel, specify the application and its components to be monitored as follows:
- The Search Application drop-down list is populated with the Search service applications configured in the SharePoint farm. Select the application for which you want to configure a service group.
- All the components of the selected application are displayed; select the checkboxes against the components that you wish to monitor using this service group.
  Optionally, use the Select all components checkbox to indicate that all the components of the selected application should be monitored.
  Note:
  Some component names might appear in bold with a different icon. The corresponding check boxes might appear selected, which indicates that those components are already being monitored as part of another service group.
  You cannot deselect such components, but you can select the other components of the application for which resources have not been configured. No resources are created for components that are already part of another service group.
Click Next.
On the Network Configuration panel, review the selected systems and their network adapters, and click Next.
To change the network adapter for a system, use the drop-down box in the Adapter Display Name column.
On the Summary panel, review the service groups, resources, and attributes.
You can edit a service group or resource name by clicking the name and pressing F2.
Click Next.
When prompted to confirm the configuration changes that you are about to make, click Yes.
Along with the Search service application failover service group, a parallel service group named SharePointSearch-QueryProcessor is automatically created to monitor the Search Query and Site Settings service. If this parallel service group already exists in the cluster, any new nodes that are configured for the components that you selected in step 6 are added to its system list.
On the Finish panel, click Finish to exit the wizard.
To bring the newly created service group online immediately, select Bring the service group online before clicking Finish.
