hi there,
I'm am setting a slave ldap server. I
would like to copy
50,000 records from the master server
into the slave. The master server is miles
away. What's the fatest way of doing
so?
Can i just copy the database files
over to the slave machine without shutting down the ldap daemon?
At this moment i write my C program to dump the
records from master into a text file, ftp the text file
over to the slave, run another program in the slave
to read line by line from the file and update the ldap using the ldap_add
function call.
Problem is the slave machine is a raid machine and
adding each records seems to slow
I'm thinking of the first option which is just copy
the database files over. Of course i will take care to shutdown registration
during this moment., but i don't want to shutdown daemon. Will it
work?
thanks
