Hello Julian et al, I’ve resolved my unrelated issues and now I'm pretty sure the process to install several servers with a common config host using inf files is this. I’d love some feedback from others if you feel this is wrong, this is just from trial and error on my part and it’s not particularly intuitive: Do an install with setup-ds-admin.pl —keepcache Take the resulting .inf and change: SlapdConfigForMC = yes on the server you want to install the config tree, SlapdConfigForMC = no on the rest, and UseExistingMC = 0 on the server you want to install the config tree, and UseExistingMC = 1 on the rest and Also put adm.conf at /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf. Here’s an update to the links below, I renamed the .inf template. These should be immutable: https://github.com/morganllj/ansible-playbooks/blob/3bf0fa9ee5c69c10940eaa2163b6d69155767475/templates/389_install.inf.j2 https://github.com/morganllj/ansible-playbooks/blob/3bf0fa9ee5c69c10940eaa2163b6d69155767475/templates/adm.conf.j2 https://github.com/morganllj/ansible-playbooks/blob/3bf0fa9ee5c69c10940eaa2163b6d69155767475/install_389.yml -morgan > On Sep 15, 2017, at 12:56 PM, Morgan Jones <morgan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello Julia, > > I’m troubleshooting this exact behavior. So far I’ve found if you create an /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf before the silent install it works. However we just went through a host domain name change (long story) and I’m having I think unrelated problems. I hope to resolve that shortly and then I might have a more definitive answer. > > In the mean time this may be helpful to you: > https://github.com/morganllj/ansible-playbooks/blob/develop/templates/389_primary_master_setup.inf.j2 > https://github.com/morganllj/ansible-playbooks/blob/develop/templates/adm.conf.j2 > > Here’s where they’re used if you are familiar with ansible: > https://github.com/morganllj/ansible-playbooks/blob/develop/install_389.yml > > -morgan > > >> On Sep 15, 2017, at 11:49 AM, Julian Kippels <kippels@xxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I was playing around with silent installs and found out that the final >> configuration differs from interactive installations.
