I have two multimaster nodes.
I would like to add a third node.
I wondered if there is a best method that has been observed.
Should I slapcat | slapadd , add the syncrpl lines, and start the servers 1 and 2 and then finally 3?
Should I just add the syncrepl lines and let it autobuild on 3 (starting in 1 2 3 order)
Should I do an ldapsearch and ldapadd and let the syncrepl fix the metadata attributes only ?
Thoughts, comments, suggestions. I know I saw this on the list a while ago but I can't see to find it. (I'll document for the admin docs with what I find)

That would work. Note that servers 1 and 2 don't need to be stopped, they can be running the whole time.

Again, server 1 and 2 don't need to be started in any particular order. This approach is fine if you don't mind the time required to retrieve the entire DB through syncrepl.

No, that would be a stupid waste of time.
Howard,
Thanks for the insight on all three methodologies. It matches my thoughts and expectations and some of what I have observed.
I'll try this approach, and work on documentation if it is helpful with Gavin.
