freeIPa replica setup

[Alfredo De Luca]

Hi all.
I need to setup a freeIPA replica and not sure which is the best and more
reliable.
I found a few people preparing the replica from the server others just
installing the replica on another machine with the appropriate
configuration.

Any info/docs?

It depends on the version of IPA (and the knowing the distro would help
too).

For 4.x+ you want to start with:

$ ipa domainlevel-get

If it is domain level 1 then you can install the new machine as an IPA
client and then promote it to a master by running ipa-replica-install.

For domain-level 0 you need to run ipa-replica-prepare on an existing
master and then ipa-replica-install <gpg file> on the new master.
