Replication groups (advanced)
| This information applies to advanced deployments. |
Define replication groups so that replicas connect first to local replication servers, only going outside the group when no local replication servers are available.
For each group, set the appropriate group ID on the replication servers and the replicas. The following steps set up two replication groups, each with a replication server and a directory server. In a full-scale deployment, you would have multiple servers of each type in each group. The replicas and replication servers in the same location would belong to the same group:
-
Pick a group ID for each group.
The default group ID is
default. For mixed topologies with replicas running older DS versions that support only numeric group IDs, this is equivalent to1. -
Set the group ID for each group on the directory servers:
$ dsconfig \ set-global-configuration-prop \ --set group-id:US-East \ --hostname ds.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 $ dsconfig \ set-global-configuration-prop \ --set group-id:US-West \ --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 -
Set the group ID for each group on the replication servers:
$ dsconfig \ set-global-configuration-prop \ --set group-id:US-East \ --hostname rs.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 $ dsconfig \ set-global-configuration-prop \ --set group-id:US-West \ --hostname rs2.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
