LJ, We've tried it both ways. BMC initially installed it with each server writing to the collection directory. The problem appeared intermittent at that time with the primary server usually being able to write and the secondary server locked out once the problem occurred.
Based upon recommendations from support we reconfigured making the primary server the only indexer. The secondary and integration servers are not in the ranking form at all for "Full Text Index" and have the config set to "Disable FTS Indexer". There's a paper on configuring this way due to performance, and we hoped it would take care of the lock issue too. FTS does function fine when the secondary server is down. Due to test schedule and the amount of reconfiguration to do to make the secondary server the only indexer I haven't tested to see if it was any better with the secondary being the indexer.
