I have an IPA server that i'm rebuilding. It was part of a 3 server
replication. That is, three ipa replicas. Caroline0 through 2.
I have the server rebuilt, the problem is, it wasn't cleanly removed from the
ipa replication in the first place, so the other two replicas still think it
exists. I thought it should be a simple matter of deleting the down replica on
the other two, but thats not working out.
Yes, I understand that it should have been cleanly uninstalled, and that would
have avoided this. Live and learn.
Here's some detail. Caroline1 is the server which is to be rebuilt.
[root@caroline2 PROD ~]# ipa-replica-manage list
caroline0.lafayette.edu: master
caroline2.lafayette.edu: master
caroline1.lafayette.edu: master
[root@caroline2 PROD ~]# ipa-replica-manage del caroline1.lafayette.edu
'caroline2.lafayette.edu' has no replication agreement for
'caroline1.lafayette.edu'
[root@caroline2 PROD ~]# ipa host-del caroline1.lafayette.edu
ipa: ERROR: invalid 'hostname': An IPA master host cannot be deleted or disabled
I have tried the same commands from Caroline0, which is the first ipa server i
built, thinking that maybe it was in some way authoritative in some matters
because it was the first. Same deal there.
I've tried simply re-adding my rebuilt caroline1, hoping it would replace the
old, no luck there.
The host caroline1.lafayette.edu already exists on the master server.
You should remove it before proceeding:
% ipa host-del caroline1.lafayette.edu
I think the key here is to convince the other two ipa servers, that caroline1
is no longer a master, but I haven't found a way to do that yet.
