To Initialize the Replication Agreements

Use this procedure to initialize the user data instance on Directory Server 1. The previously created agreements will replicate the data to Directory Server 2.

Initialization is not required on both instances when configuring for MMR.

1. Log in to the ds–1 host machine as a root user.

2. Run dsconf show-repl-agmt-status to verify that the replication agreements are not yet initialized.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin # ./dsconf show-repl-agmt-status -h ds-1.example.com -p 1489 dc=company,dc=com ds-2.example.com:1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager Configuration Status : OK Authentication Status : OK Initialization Status : NOT OK Status: : Dest. Not Initialized

3. Run dsconf init-repl-dest to initialize the replication agreements.

   # ./dsconf init-repl-dest -h ds-1.example.com -p 1489 dc=company,dc=com ds-2.example.com:1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager Started initialization of "ds-2.example.com:1489"; Aug 25, 2008 3:10:01 PM Sent 2 entries. Completed initialization of "ds-2.example.com:1489"; Aug 25, 2008 3:10:04 PM

4. Run dsconf show-repl-agmt-status again to verify that the replication agreements are now initialized.

   # ./dsconf show-repl-agmt-status -h ds-1.example.com -p 1489 dc=company,dc=com ds-2.example.com:1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager Configuration Status : OK Authentication Status : OK Initialization Status : OK Status: : Enabled Last Update Date : Aug 25, 2008 3:10:08 PM
