To Enable Multi-Master Replication for the Directory Server 2 Configuration Data Instance

1. As a root user, log in to the DirectoryServer–2 host machine.

2. (Optional) Run the dsconf list-suffixes command to verify that the instance is not already enabled for replication.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1389 -v Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger ... dc=example,dc=com 1 not-replicated N/A N/A 29 The "list-suffixes" operation succeeded on "localhost:1389"

   The base suffix of the instance is not-replicated as displayed in the resulting list.

3. Run dsconf enable-repl to enable replication.

   # ./dsconf enable-repl -h DirectoryServer-2.example.com -p 1389 -d 22 master dc=example,dc=com Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger Use "dsconf create-repl-agmt" to create replication agreements on "dc=example,dc=com".

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

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

   # ./dsconf list-suffixes -p 1389 -v Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger ... dc=example,dc=com 1 master(22) N/A N/A 29 The "list-suffixes" operation succeeded on "localhost:1389"

   The base suffix of the instance is master(22) as displayed in the resulting list, indicating that the master was successfully enabled.

5. Log out of the DirectoryServer–2 host machine.
