No matter that they are different versions???
Yes. The replication protocol is the same.
The only problems you might have are schema and syntax incompatibility.
I thought that EPEL would package the same version of 389DS for both
systems CentOS 5 and 6 for compatibility reasons,
No, why?
If I were responsible for 389DS package, I would package the same
version for CentOS 5 and 6. That way, migration from one operating
system to another would be easy.
I am one of the people responsible for 389DS package. We make sure
migration is possible if not easy from one operating system to another.
I don 't understand why they package different versions. If 389DS
people decide to make a big change, suppose in the replication
protocol. How would you migrate from CentOS 5 to 6?
We make sure migration is possible. We try to make it easy. The
replication protocol has not changed in several years.
but that 's not what
they have in their repositories.
The thing is ...
If I have 3 server with CentOS 5 and 389DS 1.2.1 replicating and
working ... then I migrate one of those servers to CentOS 6 and 389DS
version 1.2.2 (or the version EPEL decides to package). Will they work
fine together?
They should, yes.
Does EPEL consider that kind of things?
It has absolutely nothing to do with EPEL.
Who package 389DS for EPEL?
EPEL people or 389DS people?
I think they are very important ... suppose that version 1.2.2 does
not work fine with 1.2.1. What would you do in such scenario?
I would file a ticket and get it fixed asap, because it is supposed to work.
No, I tried both and they work fine together, but I cant 't find
documentation to know if it 's safe ...
Thanks ...

Hi people ...
Nowadays, I have CentOS5 on my servers, but next year I ll start
setting up CentOS 6 on them.
I ll first install 389DS on the main CentOS5 servers from EPEL
repository (currently version 1.2.1) and I guess replication between
them ll work fine because I m using the same version of 389DS.
The thing is that EPEL for CentOS 6 has 389DS version 1.2.2 instead of
1.2.1.
So, what would a safe way to migrate to a newer version of 389DS?
- Do I have to migrate all CentOS 5 servers participating in the
replication process at the same time to CentOS 6?
No.
All versions of 389/RHDS/CentOS DS can replicate with each other.
- How do you handle that kind of situations? Is there any
documentation I can read?
Thanks!
