Hi Dieter
Does anyone have an example of how to do a syncrepl where a single slapd instance can act as both the consumer and producer?
have a look at tests/scripts/test019
I took a look at test019 and it seams that the master and slave run on different ports and use different slapd.conf files. Will go through slapd.conf examples in detail to see if I can find any magic tricks that will help me get it working on the same port and in a single slapd.conf file.
Also, has anyone done any scalability/reliability tests with syncrepl?
Yes I did, cascading databases up to 66 servers and multimaster replication up to 14 hosts and up to 5 M entries. Hardware was Sun Ultrasparc single core 8 GB, rackmounts.
This is good to know, I am currently testing the replication of a database with 70K entries between CERN in Geneva and the University of Melbourne. After this I will do some more tests with multiple masters.
Thanks
Laurence
