To Create Clean Master Data in Directory Server

1. Stop the master server.

2. Export the database contents using the dsadm command.

   Specify the -Q option so that replication information is not included in the export.

   # dsadm export -Q instance-path suffix-DN /tmp/clean-export.ldif

3. Reimport the exported data to the same master server using the dsadm command.

   # dsadm import instance-path /tmp/clean-export.ldif suffix-DN

4. Restart the master server.

   The master server now contains clean data, meaning it contains smaller databases, indexes, and empty change logs.

5. Import the clean master data, to all of the other servers in your system.
