We've inherited an N-way multi-master setup (based on CentOS OpenLDAP v. 2.4.39) which was setup with text conf in slapd.conf instead of online configuration in cn=config.
slapd.conf is still fine and will even be supported in 2.5.
I suppose that adding a new schema to such a setup would require the following steps:
- stop all instances in the cluster
- add schema to all instances to /etc/openldap/schema
- start all instances in the cluster
If you're just adding *new* schema you can do this one-by-one, as long as you don't add data requiring the new schema to any of the MMR providers. So you could avoid the down-time with some extra caution. After installing the new schema to all MMR providers you can add data using the new schema.
Just add this line to slapd.conf:
include /path/to/additional.schema
Note:
The new schema file (which one?) might require other schema files to be loaded before. So probably add the include statement *after* all the other schema-include statements.
If the new schema also contains a change to *existing* schema for already *existing* data you might also have to reload the database.
