Hy again !
Still testing n-way multimaster replication with 2 masters.
I encountered a situation where my two masters where out of sync.
Here is the deal :
I have M1(serverID=1) & M2(serverID=2) synced and I am performing adds/modify to both M1 & M2.
1) I stop M2 and make a backup of it with slapcat. 2) I then restart M2. 3) I continue to make updates on M1 & M2. 4) I then stop (kill -INT PID) M2 5) I continue to make updates on M1 6) I then delete all *.bdb etc.. files from M2 7) I use the LDIF backup(see 1)) to restore M2 and then restart it. 8) restart M2 9) all entries modified/added during phase 5) are successfuly replicated to M2, but all entries modified/added on M2 dunring phase 3) are not replicated on M2.
This is because those entries have an entryCSN menchening that theses entries where last modified/created on M2 (ex: entryCSN: 20090219091852.789559Z#000000#002#000000)
So M1 doesn't send them back to M2 even though they aren't present on M2.
The trick I used to force M1 to send these entries to M2 is to change the serverID of M2. In fact, it is like setting up a whole new master. So I changed cn=config olcServerID from M1 before restarting M2 (before 8)) and I modify /appli/projects/m2/openldap_2.4.14/conf/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif also
This is the only way I found to make sure that M1 & M2 are really the same again.
Any other suggestions ? I didn't found anything in the documentation about that, maybe I missed-it.
