Hi all, I have two LDAP servers in a multimaster replication setup that has worked fine for a while. Recently it was reported to me that the two LDAP servers had somehow gone out of sync and refused to replicate. I am trying to fix this by triggering an initialisation from what I've chosen to be authoritative source of data to the other using the instructions here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/CDS/ag/8.0/Managing_Replication-Configuring-Replication-cmd.html#Configuring-Replication-InitializingConsumers-cmd When the replication is triggered, a few thousand lines appear on the remote side's log that look like this: [23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Replication Manager,cn=config" method=128 version=3 [23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=0 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=1 dn="cn=replication manager,cn=config" [23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=1 SRCH base="" scope=0 filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs="supportedControl supportedExtension" [23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0 [23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=2 SRCH base="" scope=0 filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs="supportedControl supportedExtension" [23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=2 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0 [23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=3 EXT oid="2.16.840.1.113730.3.5.12" name="replication-multimaster-extop" [23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=3 RESULT err=0 tag=120 nentries=0 etime=0 [23/Nov/2013:15:00:08 +0000] conn=4402 op=4 EXT oid="2.16.840.1.113730.3.5.6" name="Netscape Replication Total Update Entry" [23/Nov/2013:15:00:08 +0000] conn=4402 op=4 RESULT err=0 tag=120 nentries=0 etime=0 [23/Nov/2013:15:00:08 +0000] conn=4402 op=5 EXT oid="2.16.840.1.113730.3.5.6" name="Netscape Replication Total Update Entry" [23/Nov/2013:15:00:08 +0000] conn=4402 op=5 RESULT err=0 tag=120 nentries=0 etime=0 [snip a few thousand log entries all saying err=0] The side that I initialised the replication from lists this message as the status, which is too vague to be useful: nsds5replicaLastInitStatus: -2 Total update abortedSystem error Does anyone know what the error "-2" means? Does anyone have any clear and unambiguous instructions for re-initialising two LDAP servers that have gone out of sync?
