Unable to remove index components from a server
I'm attempting to replace one of the app servers in my SP2013 farm, and as part of that I am moving the search components off of that server and onto the new one, which has already been joined to the farm. I created the index component on the new server without a problem, but when I went through the steps to remove it from the existing, I get the following error:
"Topology activation failed. Removing index partitions from a non-empty is not supported"
The old server has 2 index partitions that I'm attempting to remove. Anyone know what causes this, and how I can be sure to avoid it in the future? We will be going through this same process in production next. Thanks!
