[389-users] Replication questions.

[Reinhard Nappert]

Hi, I have a multi-master setup with three masters. All of them are running 1.2.8.2. I had created and deleted the replication environment at least 3 times.

The current setup looks like the following.

Svr A has replication id 1, Srv B has the replication id 3 and Srv C has the id 4. The replication seems to work.

When I look into the dse.ldif files, I see the following:

Srv A:
dn: cn=replica,cn=o\3base,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: o=base
nsDS5ReplicaId: 1
nsDS5Flags: 1
nsDS5ReplicaType: 3
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsDS5Replica
cn: replica
...
nsDS5ReplicaReferral: ldap://SrvB:389/o=base
nsDS5ReplicaReferral: ldap://SrvC:389/o=base
numSubordinates: 2
dn: cn=SrvA2SrvB,cn=replica,cn=o\3base,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsDS5ReplicationAgreement
...
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: o=base
nsds50ruv: {replicageneration} 4e5ab509000000010000
nsds50ruv: {replica 3 ldap://SrvB:389} 4e775b74000000030000 4e77634c00000003

nsds50ruv: {replica 4 ldap://SrvC:389} 4e77621d000000040000 4e77634900000

nsds50ruv: {replica 1 ldap://SrvA:389} 4e5ab517000000010000 4e77633d0000000

nsds50ruv: {replica 2 ldap://SrvC:389} 4e775c9c000000020000 4e775e4c00000

nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 3 ldap://SrvB:389} 00000000
nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 4 ldap://SrvC:389} 00000000
nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 1 ldap://SrvA389} 00000000
nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 2 ldap://SrvC:389} 00000000

dn: cn=SrvA2SrvC,cn=replica,cn=o\3DUMC,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
...
nsds50ruv: {replicageneration} 4e5ab509000000010000
nsds50ruv: {replica 4 ldap://SrvC:389} 4e77621d000000040000 4e77634900000

nsds50ruv: {replica 3 ldap://SrvB:389} 4e775b74000000030000 4e77634c00000003

nsds50ruv: {replica 1 ldap://SrvA:389} 4e5ab517000000010000 4e77634e0000000

nsds50ruv: {replica 2 ldap://SrvC:389} 4e775c9c000000020000 4e775e4c00000
 0020000
nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 4 ldap://SrvC:389} 00000000
nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 3 ldap://SrvB:389} 00000000
nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 1 ldap://SrvA:389} 00000000
nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 2 ldap://SrvC:389} 00000000

I did expect that the replicageneration is equal for all of the agreements (not only locally but also for the others).

When, I look at SrvB and SrvC, I do not seen any replicageneration: No nsds50ruv and nsruvReplicaLastModified values!

Srv B:
dn: cn=replica,cn=o\3base,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: o=base
nsDS5ReplicaId: 2
nsDS5Flags: 1
nsDS5ReplicaType: 3
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsDS5Replica
cn: replica
...
nsDS5ReplicaReferral: ldap://SrvA:389/o=base
nsDS5ReplicaReferral: ldap://SrvC:389/o=base
numSubordinates: 2


dn: cn=SrvB2SrvA,cn=replica,cn=o\3base,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsDS5ReplicationAgreement
...
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: o=base

dn: cn=SrvB2SrvC,cn=replica,cn=o\3DUMC,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
...

Srv3 entries look like:

Srv C:
dn: cn=replica,cn=o\3base,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: o=base
nsDS5ReplicaId: 3
nsDS5Flags: 1
nsDS5ReplicaType: 3
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsDS5Replica
cn: replica
...
nsDS5ReplicaReferral: ldap://SrvB:389/o=base
nsDS5ReplicaReferral: ldap://SrvA:389/o=base
numSubordinates: 2


dn: cn=SrvC2SrvA,cn=replica,cn=o\3base,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsDS5ReplicationAgreement
...
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: o=base

dn: cn=SrvC2SrvB,cn=replica,cn=o\3DUMC,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
...

So, my questions are:
Why are the two attributes nsds50ruv and nsruvReplicaLastModified missing in the agreement objects on SrvB and SrvC. Secondly, why do I still see those old values for nsds50ruv and nsruvReplicaLastModified  in SrvA. This looks strange to me.

Even more confusing is that I see those attributes if I read the dn: nsuniqueid=ffffffff-ffffffff-ffffffff-ffffffff,o=base entry. Why are those nsds50ruv with old replicagenerations still there? At least the replicageneration is identical on all three boxes.
