In case the data for the entire replication domain, such as the backend, needs to be replaced, perform the following steps:
-
With all servers online, run dsreplication
pre-external-initialization against any server in the topology.
$ bin/dsreplication pre-external-initialization --hostname austin01.example.com \ --port 1389 --baseDN dc=example,dc=com --adminUID admin \ --adminPassword password --no-promptReplication is stopped for the domain. No writes are made by clients to any of the servers. -
To replace the data for dc=example,dc=com, use
import-ldif.
- Optional: To overwrite the existing data for the domain, use the --overwriteExistingEntries option.
- Optional: To ensure that the input LDIF is free of any replication attributes, use the --excludeReplication option.
In this example, you perform the import-ldif with the server offline using the --excludeReplication and --overwriteExistingEntries options.
$ bin/import-ldif --ldifFile new-data.ldif --backendID userRoot --excludeReplication --overwriteExistingEntries -
To initialize the other servers in the topology, run dsreplication
initialize using the server that has the new data as the source
host.
$ bin/dsreplication initialize --hostSource austin01.example.com --portSource 1389 \ --hostDestination budapest01.example.com --portDestination 1389 \ --adminUID admin --adminPassword password --baseDN dc=example,dc=com \ --no-prompt -
From any server in the topology, run dsreplication
post-external-initialization once.
Note:
All servers in the topology must be online.
$ bin/dsreplication post-external-initialization --hostname austin01.example.com \ --port 1389 --baseDN dc=example,dc=com --adminUID admin \ --adminPassword password --no-prompt
