The Spotlight service allows you to search files on the attached share based on name, metadata, and size. The Scale Logic Genesis ZX creates an index and that index is being used by the client's machine. Bear in mind that no local copy of an index is being created. Thus, each new user does not have to generate an index for files once Scale Logic Genesis ZX has been enabled. The shares have to be selected in the settings in order to be indexed by the service and the SMB service has to be enabled.

The Spotlight's database and index is updated during an upload or modification of data on a pool and only datasets are indexed. If the pool that was currently used is exported, or could not be used due to the lack of space, the last imported or created pool will be used. The index is also placed on the pool. For example:

  • Pool-0 is created, Spotlight is enabled and pool-0 database is used.
  • Pool-1 is created, Spotlight is enabled and still database from pool-0 is used.
  • Pool-0 is exported and the database from pool-1 is used.
  • Pool-0 is imported and the database from pool-1 is used.

Note: Once the service has been enabled, a share called _spotlight-db-dataset will be added.
