You are right Dan, the ip has no bearing on it. I am just re-using the IP because it is
tied in DNS to the name of my Master. Since the hubs refer to the master by DNS, I brought
up the new machine with the same ip hoping that the hubs would not notice that the Master
has moved to a new machine. However I am getting the following error.

I know the fix for this is re-initializing the hubs and reps, but if I want to circumvent
that, I was hoping I could manually match the 'generation Ids' on the Master to
the hubs. Unfortunately that does not seem to matter, since the function
'csngen_adjust_local_time' seems to be factoring in some other variables apart
from the 'ReplicaGeneration' attribute in dse.ldif.

Did you use the IP when creating the replication agreement? The IP *should* have no
bearing on it, at least thats what I thought. I'd be interested it know now, because
I'll be moving a master soon.

Adding another Master is not an option because for the end result the IP address and dns
record of the master should be same. I did try to swap the hardware on the existing Master
after stopping writes and making sure that the db was in sync. After recreating
replication agreements with the hubs, it is now complaining that the hubs have a different
generation id, hence won't replicate.

You do not have to init the database as long as they are in sync, you can just 'send
updates'. If all the slaves are 1.1.2, you'd want to eventually upgrade those
machines too, have you considered just adding another master (master/master) then sliding
the original master out? Should equate to zero downtime.

Hi Folks,
I have recently been tasked with moving a Single Ldap Master from a dying machine to a
spanking new blade. After doing some research it appears to me that the optimum way to do
this will be installing a fresh instance of the application on the new server, import the
database and then recreate and reinitialize all the hubs and replicas. The problem I face
is that this work place has a humongous LDAP database will 3 mil+ entries.
Re-initialization is taking upto 3 hours in some cases. With 5 hubs and 20 replicas to
reinitialize, the downtime is unacceptable to the client.
If I stop writes to the Master, then export the database to the new box and recreate the
New-Master-Hub replication after removing the old Master , will I still need to
re-initialize the hubs? Is there any way to do this swap without reinitializing or fooling
the hubs and reps into thinking that they are still talking to the same Master albeit on a
new machine (same ip address/dns).
The client is still using ver. 1.1.2 on Centos 5.4
Thanks,
Shar Ker
