Julian, Did you see my on-list response on the list at 16:41pm eastern yesterday? I didn’t see it make it to the list, It’s quoted below. The problem I was having was the first install would fail with an error connecting to the host that stores the config. Setting SlapdConfigForMC and UseExistingMC appropriately fixed it for me. What is SlapdConfigForMC and UseExistingMC set to on the server that stores that config and server(s) that don’t store?
I just got everything working cleanly with the below inf. Can dig up a list of the variables I’m setting in my hosts.yml would you be willing to post a sanitized version of your inf so we can compare notes? I agree expect is clunky, I’m curious to find out what your problem is as I’ve been living this issue for the last week or so. -morgan > On Sep 18, 2017, at 4:41 PM, Morgan Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello Julian et al, > > I’ve resolved my unrelated issues and now I'm pretty sure the process to > install several servers with a common config host using inf files is this. > I’d love some feedback from others if you feel this is wrong, this is just > from trial and error on my part and it’s not particularly intuitive: > > Do an install with setup-ds-admin.pl —keepcache > > Take the resulting .inf and change: > SlapdConfigForMC = yes on the server you want to install the config tree, > SlapdConfigForMC = no on the rest, and > UseExistingMC = 0 on the server you want to install the config tree, and > UseExistingMC = 1 on the rest and > > Also put adm.conf at /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf. > > Here’s an update to the links below, I renamed the .inf template.
