Re: Brining up replication with an already live server?

I have two DSAs of the same version (2.4.20). One is empty and the other is stand-alone. I want to configure multi-master; can I add the syncrepl directives to the live server and then bring up the other server and add the syncrepl directives - will the second server then syncronize with the live server (which already contains configuration, etc...). Or do I need to start with two empty DSAs?

You can sync the empty server with the live server, but pulling down an entire database thru the network protocol is a lot slower than slapcat/slapadd...
