Hi, to my understanding the admin guide on mirrormode is misleading. http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#MirrorMode According to this documentation both nodes have to be put into mirror mode, as far as I understand the concept of mirror mode, and is described in slapd.conf(5), there is one node accepting write operations, that is 'mirrormode on' statement, the other node acts as synrepl consumer and a hot standby only, with 'mirrormode off'. Could someone please correct me, if I'm wrong.

The doc is correct. For seamless failover to work automatically, without any manual intervention, both nodes must be configured identically.
