To Enable Multi-Master Replication for User Data Instance on Directory Server 2

1. Log in to the ds–2 host machine as a root user.

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 "list-suffixes" operation succeeded on "ds-2.example.com:1489"

   The base suffix of the user data instance is not replicated.

3. Run dsconf enable-repl to enable replication of the user data instance.

   # ./dsconf enable-repl -h ds-2.example.com -p 1489 -d 22 master dc=company,dc=com Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager Use "dsconf create-repl-agmt" to create replication agreements on "dc=company,dc=com".

   The -d option takes as input a randomly chosen identifier to represent the Directory Server 2 user data instance; in this case, 22 master indicates that the user data instance is a master and not a replica. The base suffix is specified as dc=company,dc=com.

4. Run dsconf list-suffixes again to verify that the instance is now enabled for replication.

   # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1489 -v Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: dsmanager ... dc=company,dc=com 1 master(22) N/A N/A 29 0 The "list-suffixes" operation succeeded on "ds-2.example.com:1489"

   The base suffix of the instance is master(22) indicating that the master was successfully enabled.

5. Log out of the ds–2 host machine.
