Moving or promoting a server
Use this information to move or promote a server.
- Select the server that you want and click Move.
- Select the server that you want to move the replica to, or select Replication topology to promote the replica to a master. Click Move.
- In some cases the Select credentials panel will pop up asking for a credential which is located in a place other than cn=replication,cn=localhost. In such situations provide a credential object which is located in a place other than cn=replication,cn=localhost. Select the credentials the subtree is going to use form the existing sets of credentials or create new credentials. See Creating replication credentials.
- The Create additional supplier agreements is displayed. Select the supplier agreements appropriate for the role of the server. For example, if a replica server is being promoted to be a peer server, select to create supplier agreements with all the other servers and their first level replicas. These agreements enable the promoted server to act as a supplier to the other servers and their replicas. Existing supplier agreements from the other servers to the newly promoted server are still in effect and do not need to be recreated.
- Click OK.
The change in the topology tree reflects the moving of the server.
