I have two new RH7 servers each running 389ds and each with a test ldap instance and a test master.  

I set up replication from our old ldap servers (iPlanet 5 on Solaris) to these new instances so they keep up to date with everything until we are ready to switch the VIPs to point to these new ones both both updates to the masters and queries to the ldap instances.

Everything was working fine until I set up replication between the config directories on these new servers (not sure if that was the cause, but timing is that the issue occurred just after this).  When I went to restart one of the query directorsies it failed with this logged:

dse_read_one_file - The entry cn=schema in file /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldaptest1/schema/99user.ldif (lineno: 1) is invalid, error code 20 (Type or value exists) -

I thought it might have been caused by the replication of config.  So, I blew away one of the directory instances then rebuilt it and configured consumer replication again.  From the primary supplier I re-initialized it which succeeded.  But, when I tried a restart it failed again with the same error.  The time stamp on 99user.ldif was the same as when the total update started.

 

Any suggestions how I can find out what is getting messed up in the schema?  Do I need to turn up more logging to try to get info more than what the unhelpful message above tells me?

 

Thanks.
