Synchronize the Replica on All Servers
Determines the complete synchronization status on every server that has a replica of the selected
partition. This helps you determine the health of a partition. If all of the servers with a replica of
the partition are synchronizing properly, then the partition is considered healthy. Each server
performs an immediate synchronization to every other server in the replica ring. Servers do not
synchronize to themselves. Therefore, the status for the current server’s own replicas is
displayed as Host.
Repair Ring, All Replicas
Repairs the replica ring of all the replicas displayed in the replica table.
Repair Ring, Selected Replica
Repairs the replica ring of selected replica listed in the replica table.
IMPORTANT: Repairing a replica ring consists of checking the replica ring information on each
server that contains a replica of a given partition and validating remote ID information. If you
have not repaired the local eDirectory database in the last 30 minutes, you should do so before
repairing all or selected rings. You can repair the local database using the
-R
option. For more
information, see “-R” on page 79.
View Replica Ring
Displays a list of all servers that contain a replica of the selected partition. This set of servers is
called the replica ring. The replica ring list shows information about the type of replica and
current status for each server in the ring. Select a server after viewing the replica ring to view
server options.
Server Options
Report Synchronization Status on the Selected Server
Reports replica synchronization status for a selected partition that has a replica on a
selected server. This operation reads the synchronization status attribute from the replica
root object on each server that holds replicas of the partitions. It displays the time of the last
successful synchronization to all servers and any errors that have occurred since the last
synchronization. This option displays a warning message if synchronization has not
completed within 12 hours.
Synchronize the Replica on the Selected Server
Determines the complete synchronization status on the selected server that has a replica of
the selected partition. This helps you determine the health of a partition. If the server with a
replica on the partition is synchronizing properly, the partition is considered healthy. The
server is immediately synchronized to every other server in the replica ring. The server
does not synchronize with itself. Therefore, the status for the current server’s own replica is
displayed as Host.
Send All Objects to Every Replica in the Ring
Sends all objects from the selected server in the replica ring to all other servers that contain
a replica of the partition. This operation can generate a lot of network traffic. Use this option
to ensure that the selected partition’s replica on the selected server in the replica ring is
synchronized with all other servers in the replica ring. This operation cannot be performed
on a server that contains only a subordinate reference replica of the partition.
Receive All Objects from the Master to This Replica
Receives all objects from the master replica to the replica on the selected servers. This
operation can generate a lot of network traffic. Use this option to ensure that the selected
partition’s replica on the selected server in the replica ring is synchronized with the master
replica. This operation cannot be performed on a server that contains only a master replica.
