To Create Replication Agreements for Each User Data Instance

A replication agreement is a set of parameters on a supplier that controls how updates are sent to a given consumer. In this case, we are making the user data instances aware of each other.

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

2. Run dsconf create-repl-agmt to create the replication agreement.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin # ./dsconf create-repl-agmt -h DirectoryServer-1.example.com -p 1489 dc=company,dc=com DirectoryServer-2.example.com:1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger Use "dsconf init-repl-dest dc=company,dc=com DirectoryServer-2.example.com:1489" to start replication of "dc=company,dc=com" data.

3. Run dsconf list-repl-agmts to verify that the replication agreement was successfully created.

   # ./dsconf list-repl-agmts -p 1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger dc=company,dc=com DirectoryServer-2.example.com:1489

   This response indicates that the Directory Server 1 base suffix will be replicated to Directory Server 2.

4. Log out of the DirectoryServer–1 host machine.

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

6. Run dsconf create-repl-agmt to create the replication agreement.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin # ./dsconf create-repl-agmt -h DirectoryServer-2.example.com -p 1489 dc=company,dc=com DirectoryServer-1.example.com:1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger Use "dsconf init-repl-dest dc=company,dc=com DirectoryServer-1.example.com:1489" to start replication of "dc=company,dc=com" data.

7. Run dsconf list-repl-agmts to verify that the replication agreement was successfully created.

   # ./dsconf list-repl-agmts -p 1489 Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: d1rm4n4ger dc=company,dc=com DirectoryServer-1.example.com:1489

   This response indicates that the Directory Server 2 base suffix will be replicated to Directory Server 1.

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