<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am performing a rolling upgrade of my 389-ds servers in my environment. Currently they are running version 1.2.5 of directory server, and 1.1.10 of administration server on 32-bit hardware. Currently I have 6 servers using MMR replication
and I am planning on replacing the servers one at a time, upgrading from OEL5 32-bit to OEL6 64-bit and to version 1. 2.10.2 of directory server. Until the upgrades are completed, there will be a period of time where I have mixed servers, some 32-bit 1.2.5
and some 64-bit 1.2.10.2. I have done this in a test environment with 4 vm’s, and was able to detach a server from the MMR group, and then re-attach and initialize the new server successfully, with replication of the userRoot working seemingly fine. However,
there are two issues I have noticed:<br>
<br>
1 – any schema changes made on either the new servers or the old ones will not replicate over.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2 – When I view the attributes tab on 389-console on the new 64-bit server, all attributes appear under “Standard Attributes”, however when I view the attributes tab on the 32-bit servers, about half of these are under the “User Defined
Attributes” section. I have an idea of why this is but I want to hear someone else’s opinion on it first.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, if anyone has done this before and would like to share any issues they ran into I would be grateful. I’m wondering if the schema replication issue will go away once all servers are using 1.2.10.2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
