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::8989 \
     --hostname  \
     --port 4444 \
     --bindDN  \
     --bindPassword password \
     --usePkcs12TrustStore /config/keystore \
     --trustStorePassword:file /config/keystore.pin \
     --no-prompt
    bash
  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::8989 \
     --hostname  \
     --port 4444 \
     --bindDN  \
     --bindPassword password \
     --usePkcs12TrustStore /config/keystore \
     --trustStorePassword:file /config/keystore.pin \
     --no-prompt
    bash
  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.
