Note:

In this example, the --restricted domain is specified in the dsreplication command.

To enable replication on the servers in the topology:

  1. Run dsreplication enable. 
    root@austin1# ./bin/dsreplication enable \ 
--host1 austin1.example.com \ 
--port1 389 --bindDN1 "cn=directory manager" \ 
--bindPassword1 pass --host2 austin2.example.com \
--port2 389 --bindDN2 "cn=directory manager" \ 
--bindPassword2 pass \
--replicationPort1 8989 \ 
--replicationPort2 8989 \ 
--baseDN dc=example,dc=com \ 
--baseDN ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \ 
--restricted ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \ 
--adminUID admin --adminPassword pass --trustAll \
--no-prompt
    Note:

    Running the dsreplication enable command for the first time creates the admininstrator account.

  2. Enable replication between austin1 and newyork1.

    This procedure automatically also enables replication between austin2 and newyork1.

    root@austin1# ./bin/dsreplication enable \ 
--host1 austin1.example.com \ 
--port1 389 --bindDN1 "cn=directory manager" \ 
--bindPassword1 pass --host2 newyork1.example.com \
--port2 389 --bindDN2 "cn=directory manager" \ 
--bindPassword2 pass \ 
--replicationPort1 8989 \
--replicationPort2 8989 \
--baseDN dc=example,dc=com \
--baseDN ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \ 
--restricted ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \ 
--adminUID admin --adminPassword pass --trustAll \ 
--no-prompt
  3. Enable replication between austin1 and newyork2. 
    root@austin1# ./bin/dsreplication enable \ 
  --host1 austin1.example.com \
  --port1 389 --bindDN1 "cn=directory manager" \
  --bindPassword1 pass --host2 newyork2.example.com \
  --port2 389 --bindDN2 "cn=directory manager" \
  --bindPassword2 pass \
  --replicationPort1 8989 \
  --replicationPort2 8989 \
  --baseDN dc=example,dc=com \
  --baseDN ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \
  --restricted ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \
  --adminUID admin --adminPassword pass --trustAll \
  --no-prompt
    The entry-balancing replication setup is complete.
  4. Initialize the remaining servers without data.
    1. Initialize the global domain, dc=example,dc=com on austin2, newyork1, and newyork2 servers. 
      root@austin1# ./bin/dsreplication initialize \
  --hostSource austin1.example.com --portSource 389 \
  --hostDestination austin2.example.com \
  --portDestination 389 --adminUID admin \
  --adminPassword password \
  --baseDN dc=example,dc=com \
  --no-prompt
    2. Initialize the entry-balancing domain, ou=people,dc=example,dc=com, from austin1 to newyork2. 
      root@austin1# ./bin/dsreplication initialize \
  --hostSource austin1.example.com --portSource 389 \
  --hostDestination newyork1.example.com \
  --portDestination 389 --adminUID admin \
  --adminPassword password \
  --baseDN dc=example,dc=com \
  --baseDN ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \
  --no-prompt
    3. Initialize the entry-balancing domain, ou=people,dc=example,dc=com, from austin2 to newyork2. 
      
root@austin2# ./bin/dsreplication initialize \
  --hostSource austin2.example.com --portSource 389 \
  --hostDestination newyork2.example.com \
  --portDestination 389 --adminUID admin \
  --adminPassword password \
  --baseDN dc=example,dc=com \
  --baseDN ou=people,dc=example,dc=com \
  --no-prompt
      Note:

      After austin2 is initialized with the global domain, you can combine steps 4b and 4c by initializing both domains with one invocation.
