Configuring an On-Premise Search Service for High-Availability

To create an On-Premise HA Search service, you'll need separate Search nodes configured as part of the larger HA deployment.

The following diagram shows the simplest HA configuration for On-Premise Search (your configuration may vary):

Note: The Ingress Replicators and Search nodes have built-in health checks via host:port/loadbalance/eligible. Therefore, the load balancer can maintain the pool of available nodes via the health check and then round-robin requests across available nodes. In this way, the load balancer can detect any failures of Ingress Replicator(s) or Search nodes.
