Picking apart the source code, I find the following code implementing the above message, the code would suggest the message is an error, and that the error is "fatal":
case EXAMINE_RUV_GENERATION_MISMATCH:
slapi_log_error(SLAPI_LOG_FATAL, repl_plugin_name,
"%s: Replica has a different generation ID than the local data.\n",
agmt_get_long_name(prp->agmt));
next_state = STATE_BACKOFF_START;
break;
Does anyone know what a "generation ID" is in the context of two replicas, what it means, what it does? Is the admin in any way involved in the choosing of this "generation ID"?
Why would this "generation ID" be significant when nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh has been set to "start" and the expectation is that server C will be blown away anyway?
Regards,
Graham
