   -SearchServiceInstance <SearchServiceInstancePipeBind>
   -SearchTopology <SearchTopologyPipeBind>
   [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>]
   [-Confirm]
   [-IndexPartition <UInt32>]

Description

Creates a new index component and adds it to an inactive search topology in a specific search service instance. The change is effectuated when the search topology is enabled.

Examples

------------------EXAMPLE-----------------

$si = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$topology = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchTopology -SearchApplication $ssa
New-SPEnterpriseSearchIndexComponent -SearchTopology $topology -SearchServiceInstance $si -SearchApplication $ssa -IndexPartition 1 -RootDirectory E:\Index

This example adds a new Search Index Component to the inactive topology for the existing Search Service Application. The directory of the Index Component is set to E:\Index with a Partition number of 1.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

Specifies the index partition number to assign to the new search index component.

Type:UInt32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:SharePoint Server Subscription Edition

-RootDirectory

Specifies the root directory that will hold the index location for the new search index component. This is needed if you want to isolate the index on dedicated discs in order to avoid I/O contention with other parts of the system, other system sharing the same disks, or because you do not want to risk the index filling up the OS disk (generally C: )

If you specify the root directory to be the root of a volume, e.g. E:, the index will not be cleaned up if you delete the SSA. You will then have to delete the SSA manually.
