Directory Server Multi Master Replication

To Enable replication on Directory Server 1

1) login in as root on directory server 1(ds1)
2) Optional) Run dsconf list-suffixes to verify that the user data instance is not already
enabled for replication.
# cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin
# ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 -v
Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
...
dc=company,dc=com 1 not-replicated N/A N/A 29 0
The "lists!""i#es" operation s!cceeded on "ds$.e#a%ple.co%:$&'9"
The (ase s!""i# o" the !ser data instance is not replicated.
3)Run dsconf enable-repl to enable replication of the user data instance.
# ./dsconf enable-repl - ds-1.example.com -p 1489
-d 11 master dc=company,dc=com
Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager

"dc=co%pany*dc=co%".
The d option ta+es as inp!t a rando%ly chosen identi"ier to represent the Directory ,er-er $
!ser data instance. in this case* $$ %aster indicates that the !ser data instance is a %aster and
not a replica. The (ase s!""i# is speci"ied as dc=co%pany*dc=co%.
4)Run dsconf list-suffixes again to verify that the instance is nowenabled for replication.
# ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 -v
Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager
