Sun Directory Server 5.2 6-Way MMR – part 5 – Enabling replication on a back-end
In order to participate in replication, each of the suffixes that are to be replicated need to be configured for replication. Each MMR suffix should have a unique replication identifier associated with it, numbered 0 to 65536.
With our choice of applications and associated schema, we have 6 unique suffixes, each with their own purpose:
dc=example,dc=com
The primary user/group suffix. We used the numbers 10000 to 10005 to identify MMR instances.
ds0 / dc=example,dc=com : 10000
ds1 / dc=example,dc=com : 10001
ds2 / dc=example,dc=com : 10002
ds3 / dc=example,dc=com : 10003
ds4 / dc=example,dc=com : 10004
ds5 / dc=example,dc=com : 10005
o=comms-config
The location of the Communications configuration information. We used the numbers 20000 to 20005 to identify MMR instances of this type.
ds0 / o=comms-config : 20000
ds1 / o=comms-config : 20001
ds2 / o=comms-config : 20002
ds3 / o=comms-config : 20003
ds4 / o=comms-config : 20004
ds5 / o=comms-config : 20005
o=internet
Holds the schema1 mail routing information for local domains. We used the numbers 30000 to 30005 to identify MMR instances of this type.
ds0 / o=internet : 30000
ds1 / o=internet : 30001
ds2 / o=internet : 30002
ds3 / o=internet : 30003
ds4 / o=internet : 30004
ds5 / o=internet : 30005
o=NetscapeRoot
Holds primarily console information, if all instances are configured in the same instance, all instances can show up in the console. We used the numbers 40000 to 40005 to identify MMR instances of this type.
ds0 / o=NetscapeRoot : 40000
ds1 / o=NetscapeRoot : 40001
ds2 / o=NetscapeRoot : 40002
ds3 / o=NetscapeRoot : 40003
ds4 / o=NetscapeRoot : 40004
ds5 / o=NetscapeRoot : 40005
o=pab
Sun Messaging Personal Address Book. We used the numbers 50000 to 50005 to identify MMR instances of this type.
ds0 / o=pab : 50000
ds1 / o=pab : 50001
ds2 / o=pab : 50002
ds3 / o=pab : 50003
ds4 / o=pab : 50004
ds5 / o=pab : 50005
o=PiServerDB
Sun Unified Web Client Address Book. We used the numbers 60000 to 60005 to identify MMR instances of this type.
ds0 / o=PiServerDB : 60000
ds1 / o=PiServerDB : 60001
ds2 / o=PiServerDB : 60002
ds3 / o=PiServerDB : 60003
ds4 / o=PiServerDB : 60004
ds5 / o=PiServerDB : 60005
To enable replication, for each of the hostname and suffix combinations, please follow the instructions I have created.
