Hello,
I am going to set up Indexer clustering in Splunk, where I will user 2 indexer server, 1 search head, and a Splunk license manager.
Can I use the same Splunk_DB directory for all these Splunk servers?
Regards,
Krimesh

You can use the same path on each of your servers provided they have independent underlying storage, but you can't put SPLUNK_DB on shared storage and allow all of the servers to use it. They each need their own directory.
For indexer peers / index cluster members you will need to use a common Splunk DB location as the peers have identical configuration in terms of what is pushed from the cluster master server.
In other words the master-apps directory from the master becomes the slave-apps directory on each indexer...
