We have a single Solr instance that we would like to point to two distinct Sitecore 9.0 Update-2 instances to - instance1.example.com and instance2.example.com.
Since they are separate instances, when creating the collections, I've prefixed them with an instance name, for example:
instance1_sitecore_core_index
instance1_sitecore_master_index
instance1_sitecore_web_index
instance1_sitecore_marketingdefinitions_master
...
instance2_sitecore_core_index
instance2_sitecore_master_index
instance2_sitecore_web_index
instance2_sitecore_marketingdefinitions_master
...
Setting up indexes for multi-site Sitecore suggests duplicating config files, Sitecore.ContentSearch.Solr.Index.Master.config and Sitecore.ContentSearch.Solr.Index.Web.config for example, and then updating the index id
with a new name, and I'm concerned that it would still assume that a sitecore_web_index exists.
In addition, doing a search against a base Sitecore 9.0 Update-2 website directory doesn't return all eleven indexes, which suggests it wouldn't capture all the instances.
Is there any way to patch the configurations to have Sitecore treat sitecore_web_index as, for example, instance1_sitecore_web_index, and prefix the other Solr indexes as well?
