Hi all, I am now trying to make the initial replication happen manually through the restoration of a backup. This is also turning out to be strangely difficult. After backing up servera I have the following directory on serverc: [root@serverc ~]# ls -al /tmp/replicate/ total 16 drwx------. 4 nobody nobody 4096 May 5 12:08 . drwxrwxrwt. 6 root root 4096 May 5 13:30 .. drwx------. 2 nobody nobody 4096 May 5 12:08 NetscapeRoot drwx------. 2 nobody nobody 4096 May 5 12:08 userRoot I want to restore the contents of userRoot to serverc, which looks like this: [root@serverc ~]# ls -al /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-serverc/db/ total 20604 drwxrwx---. 3 nobody nobody 4096 May 5 13:31 . drwxrwx---. 5 nobody nobody 4096 May 5 13:30 .. -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 49 May 5 13:31 DBVERSION -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 24576 May 5 13:31 __db.001 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 1736704 May 5 13:37 __db.002 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 10002432 May 5 13:31 __db.003 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 1081344 May 5 13:37 __db.004 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 8134656 May 5 13:31 __db.005 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 90112 May 5 13:31 __db.006 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 10485760 May 5 13:31 log.0000000001 drwx------. 2 nobody nobody 4096 May 5 13:30 userRoot I try and import the backup like so: [root@serverc ~]# /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-serverc/bak2db /tmp/replicate/ -n userRoot [05/May/2014:13:49:53 +0200] 389-Directory/1.2.11.15 - debug level: backend (524288) [05/May/2014:13:49:53 +0200] - Warning: Unable to read dbversion file in /tmp/replicate [05/May/2014:13:49:53 +0200] - Restore: backup directory /tmp/replicate does not contain a complete backup [05/May/2014:13:49:53 +0200] - archive2db: Failed to read backup file set. Either the directory specified doesn't exist, or it exists but doesn't contain a valid backup set, or file permissions prevent the server reading the backup set. error=53 (Invalid request descriptor) No luck. Let's guess again: [root@serverc ~]# /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-serverc/bak2db /tmp/replicate/userRoot/ -n userRoot Lots of encouraging looking output, but the server is now completely empty - the root DSE is gone. Looking at serverc, we see the userRoot directory has been ignored and we now have a totally different directory structure: [root@joey ~]# ls -al /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-joey/db/ total 260252 drwxrwx---. 3 nobody nobody 4096 May 5 13:43 . drwxrwx---. 5 nobody nobody 4096 May 5 13:30 .. -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 49 May 5 13:43 DBVERSION -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 24576 May 5 13:43 __db.001 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 1736704 May 5 13:44 __db.002 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 10002432 May 5 13:44 __db.003 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 1081344 May 5 13:44 __db.004 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 8134656 May 5 13:44 __db.005 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 90112 May 5 13:44 __db.006 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 aci.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 2482176 May 5 13:41 ancestorid.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 associatedDomain.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 certificateUUID.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 24117248 May 5 13:41 cn.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 contractClass.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 contractCustomerCounterparty.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 contractRecipientCounterparty.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 contractVendorCounterparty.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 22487040 May 5 13:41 entryrdn.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 5316608 May 5 13:41 givenName.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 159891456 May 5 13:41 id2entry.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 ipHostNumber.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 10485760 May 5 13:44 log.0000000001 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 11468800 May 5 13:41 mail.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 40960 May 5 13:41 mailAlternateAddress.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 24576 May 5 13:41 mailHost.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 memberCertificateIssuerDN.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 memberCertificateSubjectDN.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 nscpEntryDN.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 6430720 May 5 13:41 nsuniqueid.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 24576 May 5 13:41 numsubordinates.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 2473984 May 5 13:41 objectclass.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 owner.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 802816 May 5 13:41 parentid.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 5308416 May 5 13:41 sn.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 16384 May 5 13:41 uid.db4 -rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 4243456 May 5 13:41 uniquemember.db4 What is the secret to the bak2db? What command line should I use that is compatible with the server? How do you convince bak2db to restore into the userRoot directory instead of just dumping everything in the root of the directory, to be ignored by the server? Anyone used bak2db before?
