Hi Terry, 1. The 503 error you see is from the Solr client side (DSpace). To see the actual error you need to look into Solr log (catalina.out or solr.log depending on DSpace version).
2. Running the forceMerge operation (-o) on a regular basis is not really necessary. It can help in special circumstances, but it's not such a big deal in normal operation, especially in read-heavy use case such as DSpace. You can more about that here: [1] [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3141 Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
