Hi all,
We have setup a couple of servers in N-way multimaster config, using back-config, as explained in the admin guide. These all use RE24, checked out today.
We are now trying to add another server to the existing cluster. To do this, we want to replicate the existing cn=config branch from the cluster, to initialize the config for the new server.
To do this, we start the new server with a minimal cn=config branch, making it a syncrepl consumer to an existing server (consumer only, no multimaster on this new server): 8<------------ dn: cn=config objectClass: olcGlobal cn: config olcServerID: 2 olcLogLevel: sync stats
dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig olcDatabase: {0}config olcRootPW: secret olcSyncRepl: rid=001 provider=ldap://server1/ binddn="cn=config" bindmethod=simple credentials=secret searchbase="cn=config" type=refreshAndPersist retry="5 5 300 5" timeout=3 8<------------
Then, we start the server with slapd -c "rid=001,csn=0" to force a full reload. This successfully loads the config branch from the master, *except* entries that already existed in the new server's config branch. These produce the following errors: 8<------------ Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12893]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.X (Feb 3 2009 12:10:46) $ root@server2.test.lan:/root/sources/openldap-cvs-re24/servers/slapd Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: slap_queue_csn: queing 0x194e31f0 20090203172243.314729Z#000000#002#000000 Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: slap_graduate_commit_csn: removing 0x194e3930 20090203172243.314729Z#000000#002#000000 Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: slapd starting Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 LDAP_RES_SEARCH_ENTRY(LDAP_SYNC_ADD) Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 inserted UUID 31cda500-29ca-4bf8-bc53-253af0021b21 Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_search (0) Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 cn=config Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 be_add (68) Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: dn_callback : new entry is older than ours cn=config ours 20090203172228.809275Z#000000#000#000000, new 20090203165238.611891Z#000000#001#000000 Feb 3 18:22:43 server2 slapd[12894]: syncrepl_entry: rid=001 entry unchanged, ignored (cn=config) 8<------------
Only four entries are in this case: - cn=config - cn=schema,cn=config - olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config - olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config
How can we force syncrepl to overwrite these entries?
Any hints, or advice would be most appreciated.
