Fixing mismatched generation IDs
About this task
If you receive a warning message that multiple generation IDs were detected for a specific suffix, you must re-initialize one or more replicas. If the warning is presented from a server after an initialization, it could be that the post-external-initialization
command was not run as part of a global change in data.
Try the following fixes as needed.
Steps
-
To re-initialize replicas as part of a global change in data, run the
post-external-initialization
command. -
To fix mismatchd generation IDs, run the
dsreplication
command. -
To warn when any generation IDs are different across the topology, run the
dsreplication
tool with thestatus
command.
