Greeting,
I am planing a new IPA installation with potentially a large
number of replica servers. According to the documentation [1]:
- Set up at least two replicas in each
data center (not a hard requirement)
- A data center can be, for example, a main office or a
geographical location.
- Set up a sufficient number of servers
to serve your clients
- One Identity Management (IdM) server can provide services
to 2000 - 3000 clients. This assumes the clients query the
servers multiple times a day, but not, for example, every
minute. If you expect more frequent queries, plan for more
servers.
- Set up a sufficient number of
Certificate Authority (CA) replicas
- Only replicas with the CA role installed can replicate
certificate data. If you use the IdM CA, ensure your
environment has at least two CA replicas with certificate
replication agreements between them.
- Set up a maximum of 60 replicas in a
single IdM domain
- Red Hat supports environments with up to 60 replicas.
I have over 60 geographical locations I was hoping to place a
replica. I will easily exceed the 60 replica limitation outlined in
the documentation. Can any elaborate on the 60 replica limitation?
Is this a hard limit? What are the contributing factors for the
existing limitation?
Each location will have far less than 2000 clients. Are there any
considerations that could accommodate a larger number of replica
servers?
Thanks
