5.5.2 Deleting a Replica
Deleting a replica removes the replica of the partition from a server.
If you want to remove a server from the directory tree, you can delete replicas from the server before
removing the server. Deleting the replicas reduces the chance of having problems when removing
the server.
You can also reduce synchronization traffic on the network by removing replicas. Keep in mind that
you probably don’t want more than six replicas of any partition.
You cannot delete a master replica or a subordinate reference.
If the replica you want to delete is a master, you have two options:
Go to a server with another replica of the partition and make it the new master replica
This automatically changes the original master replica to a read/write replica, which you can
then delete.
Merge the partition with its parent partition
This merges the replicas of the partition with those of its parent and removes them from the
servers they reside on. Merging removes partition boundaries, but not the objects. The objects
continue to exist on each server which held a replica of the “joined” partition.
When you delete replicas, keep the following guidelines in mind:
For fault tolerance, you should maintain at least three replicas of each partition on different
servers.
Deleting a replica deletes a copy of part of the directory database on the targeted server.
The database can still be accessed on other servers in the network, and the server that the
replica was on still functions in eDirectory.
Replica Type
Description
Read-Write
Users will be able to both read and modify the contents of the new
replica. Select this option if there are no modifiable replicas close
enough to the users who manage the eDirectory objects in this partition.
Read-Only
Users will be able to read but not modify the contents of the new replica.
Select this option if there are no replicas close enough to the users who
read but don’t modify the eDirectory objects in this partition.
Filtered Read-Write Users will be able to both read and modify the contents of the new
replica, and the contents will be limited to the types of eDirectory objects
and properties specified in a filter.
Filtered Read-Only Users will be able to read but not modify the contents of the new replica,
and the contents will be limited to the types of eDirectory objects and
properties specified in a filter.
