Hi Rich:

Can there be multiple-masters simultaneously?

Yes.


i.e. 5 masters - all 5 accepting read-writes simultaneously?

Yes.

Is there a maximum limit?

Technically the limit is 65534 read-write masters, but you will probably run into memory, thread resource, CPU, file descriptor, etc. limits long before that.


Thanks.

        Though, I'm sure that's probably not strictly true, it
        captures the spirit of things.


    Yes.  What the console means by "dedicated consumer" is a read
    only replica that does not have replication agreements to push
    data to other replicas.  This is opposed to a "hub" which is also
    a read only replica, but a hub has one or more replication
    agreements to push data to other replicas.

    In general, you should not need to use hubs or dedicated
    consumers, unless you have some security requirement (security
    zones, DMZ, etc.) and know what you're doing. It's easier to just
    make everything a master.

        Subject: [389-users] fractional replication and consumers Q

        Hi LIst,
        I have cfg  a multimaster rep  env with fractional rep,  all
        agreements are already in placed between suppliers and
        consumers , all consumers had been  cfg with  Multi Master
        Replica option, reading trough RHES 389-ds there is some
        mentioning about "dedicated consumer" option  in replica.
        We need to have  a cfg which at anytime any of the DS can act
        as master ( write+read), would "Multi Master " replica option
        need to be replaced with "dedicated consumer"?

        Thank you
        Isabella
