Hello,
We had an issue with one of replicas and decided to remove it from the
topology and run the ipa-server-install –uninstall command on the
replica. I also went through and removed all the SRV records related to
the replica.
The idea was to reinstall the same server as replica again using the
command:
ipa-replica-install --setup-dns --setup-ca --principal=admin
--password='############' --no-forwarders
When I try to run the command, I get the following error message:
ipapython.admintool: ERROR Cannot install replica of a server of
higher version ((u'00000004', u'00000006', u'00000008',
'*final')) than
the local version ((u'00000004', u'00000006', u'00000006',
'*final'))
ipapython.admintool: ERROR The ipa-replica-install command failed.
See /var/log/ipareplica-install.log for more information
Any ideas what might be going on here? Do I have something left-over on
the replica that needs to be cleaned up manually first?
As the message says, you are trying to create a new server using a lower
version than the remote server. A higher local version is allowed for
upgrades but not the other way around. (4.6.8 remote, 4.6.6 local).
Updating the IPA packages on your replica should fix it.
