Convert Single-Master to Multi-Master Replication

Note: A serverID of 000 (which is the default) is indicative of a single Producer. Note: The serverID is used to populate the “replica ID” field of all CSNs generated by the specified server.

1. Stop Solserver/Slapd

    sudo /opt/symas/etc/solserver stop 
    Or
    sudo service solserver stop
    Or
    sudo systemctl stop solserver.service 

2. Export the current database and modify the ContextCSNs in the resulting LDIF with the new server ID.

    slapcat -b <your-base-dn> | sed -E -e 
    's/#[[:digit:]]{3}#000000$/#001#000000/g' > export.ldif 

3. Update the serverIDs on all Producer’s slapd.conf/slapd.d. They must be unique and follow the syntax:

    serverID        ###        ldap://<server's FQDN>/

4. Delete the .mdb files from /var/symas/openldap-data/ on all servers.

5. Import the ldif on the First Producer

    slapadd -b <your-base-dn> -w -l export.ldif 

6. Export the updated database to an ldif to be imported on all other servers

    slapcat -b <your-base-dn> -l export_final.ldif 

7. Import the export_final ldif on other servers

    slapadd -b <your-base-dn> -l export_final.ldif 

8. Start Solserver/Slapd

    sudo /opt/symas/etc/solserver start 
    Or
    sudo service solserver start
    Or
    sudo systemctl start solserver.service 

9. For Delta-Syncrepl Only, perform a modification to the database on the primary Producer. This will trigger replication on all servers.
