[389-users] how to quickly recover from a corrupt database in multiple master configuration

[mark benschop]

Hi All,

I'm having a problem on a CentOs Directory Server 8.1 multiple master setup.
The database of one of the servers has been marked as corrupt and has been
brought offline by the Directory Server.
Ldapclients querying the ldapserver for e.g. loggin in of users get an
errormessage, effectively disabling users to log in.

I'm wondering what the best method is to recover from this situation.
I can think of a few :
1) Starting the ldapserver, deleting the database, recreating it and
restoring a backup.
2) Starting the ldapserver, deleting the database and reinitialising the
server from the other master.

Can anyone give me some hints if this wil work or would another approach be
better ?

Thanks for your advise,
Mark
