Hi, I’m preparing to rollout 2.4.28 with n-way multimaster (in this case, it’s really 2-way multimaster but could become more), and I’m looking to clarify what the exact canonical way to force a full refresh. Here’s what I’ve come up with: By “full refresh” I mean, blow away whatever is on machine Y with whatever’s on machine X. olcServerID: 1 ldaps://animal.clarku.edu olcServerID: 2 ldaps://zoot.clarku.edu olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=001 provider=ldaps://animal.clarku.edu binddn="DN OF REPLICATION USER" bindmethod=simple credentials=<PASSWORD> searchbase="dc=clarku,dc=edu" type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 5" timeout=1 olcSyncrepl: {1}rid=002 provider=ldaps://zoot.clarku.edu binddn="DN OF REPLICATION USER " bindmethod=simple credentials=<PASSWORD> searchbase="dc=clarku,dc=edu" type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 5" timeout=1 1. Stop slapd on zoot. 2. slapcat > ocrap-backup.ldif 3. rm –rf /var/lib/ldap/* on zoot 4. SLAPD_OPTIONS=”-c \”rid=001,sid=001\”” /etc/init.d/slapd start Then wait and it will refresh. Is this correct? Is there some easier way? Is there a way to do it without the rm –rf ? After it’s done, do I need to restart slapd again without the –c option? Thanks, and if I’m doing something stupid, I’m happy to look stupid in exchange for knowledge. J --- Aaron Bennett Manager of Systems Administration Clark University ITS |
