I ran into this a few days ago. There may be a more elegant solution, and I would love to hear it. Initializing a DS after replication agreements are in place resulted in changelogdb errors. The system said the information in its db did not match pending replications in the changelog, and it suggested a purge or a reinitialization. [18/Feb/2011:15:33:39 -0500] NSMMReplicationPlugin - multimaster_be_state_change : replica dc=example,dc=com is coming online; enabling replication [18/Feb/2011:15:33:39 -0500] NSMMReplicationPlugin - replica_reload_ruv: Warning: new data for replica dc=example,dc=com does not match the data in the changelog. Recreating the changelog file. This could affect replication with replica's consumers in which case the consumers should be reinitialized. I had to disable replication, which did nothing but remove the changelogdb. I did not have to remove the replication agreements and recreate them, just disable replication on the consumer, then initialize, then re-enable replication.

Here's my scenario... 1) I exported the whole directory database into LDIF. 2) I need to repopulate two directories that are configured with multi-master replication scheme Knowing that one way to do this is simply repopulate one directory and let the replication does the rest by re-initializing the other directory. But can I import the same LDIF file individually to both directories to reduce synchronization time? The goal here is to minimize the time needed for directory synchronization.
