5.5.3 Changing a Replica Type
Change a replica type to control access to the replica information. For example, you might want to
change an existing read/write replica to a read-only replica to prevent users from writing to the
replica and modifying directory data.
You can change the type of a read/write or a read-only replica. You cannot change the type of a
master replica, but a read/write or read-only can be changed to a master, which automatically
changes the original master to a read/write replica.
Most replicas should be read/write. Read/write replicas can be written to by client operations. They
send out information for synchronization when a change is made. Read-only replicas cannot be
written to by client operations. However, they are updated when the replicas synchronize.
You cannot change the replica type of a subordinate reference. To place a replica of a partition on a
server which currently has a subordinate reference requires an Add replica operation. A subordinate
reference replica is not a complete copy of a partition. The placement and management of
subordinate reference replicas is handled by eDirectory. They are created automatically on a server
by eDirectory when the server contains a replica of a partition but not of that partition’s child.
To change a replica type:
1
In Novell iManager, click the Roles and Tasks button Description: Roles and Tasks button .
2 Click Partition and Replicas > Replica View .
3 Specify the name and context of the partition or server that holds the replica you want to
change, then click OK.
4 Click the replica type (in the Type column) of the replica you want to change.
5 Select a new replica type, then click OK .
