For example, some example properties for activating Solr are:

index.subsystem.name=solr4
solr.host=localhost
solr.port=8080

`solr.host`	The host name where the Solr instance is located.

Navigate to MBeans > SkyVault > Configuration > Search.
Set the manager sourceBeanName to solr4.
The subsystems have their own related properties. The managed - solr4 instance exposes the solr.base.url property.
These can now be configured live and the subsystem redeployed.
