[389-users] Unable to promote a replica
I've installed 389-Directory 1.4 on CentOS 8 from EPEL
https://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/download.html
it looks like I have 1.4.4
Today's problem is I'm unable to promote a replica from a 'consumer' to
a 'supplier'. I've tried using the cockpit web-gui, as well as dsconf
from the command line.
When using cockpit, I get a error box containing:
Failed to promote replica - Failed to create changelog:
{'msgtype': 105, 'msgid': 9, 'result': 53, 'desc':
'Server is unwilling to perform', 'ctrls': [], 'info':
'Changelog configuration is part of the backend configuration'}
when using dnsconf, it returns (essentially) the same thing:
Error: Failed to create changelog: {'msgtype': 105,
'msgid': 9, 'result': 53, 'desc': 'Server is unwilling to
perform', 'ctrls': [], 'info': 'Changelog configuration is part of
the backend configuration'}
When I look in the audit-log, I see:
time: 20210802150607
dn: cn=changelog5,cn=config
result: 53
changetype: add
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsChangelogConfig
cn: changelog5
nsslapd-changelogdir: /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirmaster/changelogdb
creatorsName: cn=Directory Manager
modifiersName: cn=Directory Manager
createTimestamp: 20210802230607Z
modifyTimestamp: 20210802230607Z
When I look in the error-log, I see NSMMReplicationPlugin is throwing a
NOTICE error message:
NOTICE - NSMMReplicationPlugin - changelog program -
changelog5_config_add - Separate changelog no longer supported; use
cn=changelog,<backend> instead
I interpret these to mean dsconf is trying to define the the attribute
"nsslapd-changelogdir" on cn=changelog5,cn=config. And that the
replication plugin is saying, "Not so fast there, cowboy. That's not the
way it is done any more."
What is the correct process to promote a replica?

Do things because you should, not just because you can.
