JVM memory 3GB (50% of total memory) is fine to start with.

SSH to Index server and note the root index directory is /vastorage/search. This is where the index resides. /vastorage/search is empty to begin with, since Filr hasn't yet started. Eventually, the kablink folder and all the subfolders will be created here.

/var/opt/novell/search/indexserver/logs/indexserver.log is the startup log. Review it to see what happened when you start the index server.
/var/opt/novell/search/indexserver/dumps is where core files can get created. They can be very large, and can be deleted if not needed to save space.

Alias email trick: Every filr user should have an email address. When testing, use aliases for a gmail account. e.g. ewells.novell@gmail.com can have unlimited alias in the form of ewells.novell+01@gmail.com, ewells.novell+02@gmail.com, etc. Anything can follow the "+" in the address, "01" "02" are just convenient examples.
