My Splunk environment has two indexers running on VMs with Linux OS, and I want to create an indexer cluster. My third VM is a Windows machine, and I want to use this VM as a cluster master for the indexer cluster. I have read the documentation (http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Indexer/Systemrequirements), and I am aware that all nodes should run the same OS. But is it possible to have a cluster master running a different OS than the index cluster itself? If yes, what are the potential drawbacks?
Any help would be appreciated.
