Creating a master server (replicated subtree)

 

Use this information to create a master server replicated subtree.

The server must be running to perform this task.

This task designates an entry as the root of an independently replicated subtree and creates a ibm-replicasubentry representing this server as the single master for the subtree. To create a replicated subtree, designate the subtree that you want the server to replicate.

Expand the Replication management category in the navigation area and click Manage topology.

1. Click Add subtree.

2. Enter the DN of the root entry of the subtree that you want to replicate or click Browse to expand the entries to select the entry that is to be the root of the subtree.

3. The master server referral URL is displayed in the form of an LDAP URL, for example:

   ldap://<myservername>.<mylocation>.<mycompany>.com

   The master server referral URL is optional. It is used only:

   • If server contains (or will contain) any read-only subtrees.

   • To define a referral URL that is returned for updates to any read-only subtree on the server.

4. Click OK.

5. The new server is displayed on the Manage topology panel under the heading Replicated subtrees.
