Bootstrap replication servers

A bootstrap replication server is one of the replication servers in a deployment that a server should contact to discover all the other servers in the deployment.

Add a bootstrap replication server

After you add a replication server to a deployment, add it to the other servers' bootstrap-replication-server settings.

Apply these steps for each server whose configuration references the new replication server to add:

  1. Add the bootstrap replication server to the server’s configuration:

    $ dsconfig \
     set-synchronization-provider-prop \
     --provider-name "Multimaster Synchronization" \
     --add bootstrap-replication-server:new-rs.example.com:8989 \
     --hostname replica.example.com \
     --port 4444 \
     --bindDN uid=admin \
     --bindPassword password \
     --usePkcs12TrustStore /path/to/opendj/config/keystore \
     --trustStorePassword:file /path/to/opendj/config/keystore.pin \
     --no-prompt
  2. If the server uses property value substitution to load the list of replication bootstrap servers from the environment, restart the server for the changes to take effect.

Remove a bootstrap replication server

After you remove a replication server from a deployment, remove it from other servers' bootstrap-replication-server settings.

Apply these steps for each server whose configuration references the replication server that you removed:

  1. Remove the bootstrap replication server from the server’s configuration:

    $ dsconfig \
     set-synchronization-provider-prop \
     --provider-name "Multimaster Synchronization" \
     --remove bootstrap-replication-server:removed-rs.example.com:8989 \
     --hostname replica.example.com \
     --port 4444 \
     --bindDN uid=admin \
     --bindPassword password \
     --usePkcs12TrustStore /path/to/opendj/config/keystore \
     --trustStorePassword:file /path/to/opendj/config/keystore.pin \
     --no-prompt
  2. If the server uses property value substitution to load the list of replication bootstrap servers from the environment, restart the server for the changes to take effect.
