If by "replicas" you mean "directory servers", then yes, all directory servers. If you mean "one of several replicated suffixes/databases on a server", then no. The nsState entry is in each cn=replica entry for each suffix, so you only have to fix the one that is causing problems. > > > then > shutdown the servers, then dump the database(s) to LDIF, > > > I suppose I must export only the data (with db2lif), correct > not the replica information (with db2ldif.pl <http://db2ldif.pl> -r) correct > because the server has shut down and this last script requires the > server to be running.
