Hello,

I have an old directory server (Sun's) as a master and it is replicating to two slave 389 servers.  I want to pull the plug on the old server and promote one of the replicas to a master.

Here's what it looks like:
  • Server A, running old DS.   Master.
  • Server B, running 389 DS.  Consumer of A.
  • Server C, running 389 DS.  Consumer of A.

I want:

  • Server B, running 389 DS. Master.
  • Server C, running 389 DS. Consumer of B.
What's the easiest way to make this happen with minimal (0?) downtime?
My guess would be I should first make C and consumer of B.  But how do I easily "promote" B?

All the docs I find talk about multimaster.  I don't think I am ready to go there yet.
