When converting from a single-site to a multi-site cluster, what happens to existing single-site clustered buckets?

  1. They will continue to replicate within the origin site and age out based on existing policies.

  2. They will maintain replication as required according to the single-site policies, but never age out.

  3. They will be replicated across all peers in the multi-site cluster and age out based on existing policies.

  4. They will stop replicating within the single-site and remain on the indexer they reside on and age out according to existing policies.

The correct answer is: They will continue to replicate within the origin site and age out based on existing policies.

When converting from a single-site to a multi-site cluster, the behavior of existing single-site clustered buckets is to continue their replication within the original site and adhere to the established aging policies. This means that the existing buckets will not be immediately affected by the transition to a multi-site configuration; they will remain within their current site and function according to the rules that were in place before the conversion. In this context, the replication processes that were already established for those buckets will persist, allowing them to continue to replicate among their existing peers. Additionally, the buckets will age out based on the established retention policies, ensuring data management continues seamlessly without disruption. The transformation to a multi-site cluster pertains to how new buckets are handled going forward, rather than altering the operational status of the pre-existing buckets. Thus, the continuity in replication and aging policies provides a coherent approach for managing data during this conversion phase.
