so is it intended to indicate or dictate active vs standby status? I would want to maintain active/active status for load sharing. I am also not using a load balancer, and rely on SRV records or configs to share load.

any ideas why I am seeing deferred operations, otherwise?

mirror mode turned on. i am getting events in my logs about deferring operations (too many executing, etc) and want to know if i am causing these with mirror mode. the reading i am able to do on the topic seems to indicate that mirror mode is only necessary in provider/consumer replication, but i wanted to clarify that. is mirror mode necessary for n-way multi master replication? am i safe to turn it off, if it not needed?

Mirror-Mode is a concept that has nothing to do with OpenLDAP configuration in and of itself. The parameter in slapd.conf/cn=config is badly misnamed. Either your servers are configured for multi-master replication, or they aren't.

Mirror mode is simply where you put a load balancer or similar device in front of your LDAP servers and direct write traffic to only one multi-master configured node at a time.
