Creating an Instant Splunk Cluster
Use this procedure to create an instant Splunk cluster with the predefined values for the UCS Service Profile template. The system creates the QUICK_UCS_SPLUNK template, a new UCS SP Template of container type splunk while creating the instant splunk cluster. You can create a multi-site Splunk cluster or migrate an existing Splunk cluster to a multi-site Splunk cluster. Use the UCS CPA Migrate Splunk Cluster to Multi-Site workflow to migrate an existing Splunk cluster to a multi-site Splunk cluster. Until migrations are performed, you cannot completely manage an account in Cisco UCS Director Express for Big Data. Splunk Cluster Multisite Configuration Generator task should be modified for the account and site information before executing the workflow.
