Hello all, First and foremost, a big "thank you!" to the FreeIPA developers for a great product!
Now, to the point! We're trying to re-provision a previous replica using the standard documentation via the Red Hat site: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Identity_Management_Guide/Setting_up_IPA_Replicas.html However, we're running into errors during the import process. The errors are varied and fail at random steps; there was an issue with NTP or HTTP or LDAP, etc. This did not happen when we promoted a separate node to become a replica. We had previously removed the replica via `ipa-replica-manage del` and ensured that no trace of it being a replica existed: removed DNS records and verified that the host enrollment was not present. I did not use the "--force" and "--cleanup" options. When I check RUV's against the host in question, there are several. I also queried the tombstones against the host and found two entries which have valid hex time stamps; coincidentally, out of the 9 tombstone entries, 2 have "nsds50ruv" time stamps. I'll paste sanitized output below: # ldapsaerch -x -W -LLL -D "cn=directory manager" -b "dc=our,dc=personal,dc=domain" '(objectclass=nsTombstone)' Enter LDAP Password: dn: nsuniqueid=ffffffff-ffffffff-ffffffff-ffffffff,dc=our,dc=personal,dc=domain objectClass: top objectClass: nsTombstone objectClass: extensibleobject nsds50ruv: {replicageneration} 50ef13ae000000040000 nsds50ruv: {replica 4 ldap://master.our.personal.domain:389} 5164d147000000040000 5447bda 8000100040000 nsds50ruv: {replica 22 ldap://separatenode.our.personal.domain:389} 54107f9f000000160000 54436b 25000000160000 nsds50ruv: {replica 21 ldap://iparepbackup.our.personal.domain:389} 51b734de000000150000 51b7 34ef000200150000 nsds50ruv: {replica 19 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 510d56c9000100130000 510d82 be000200130000 nsds50ruv: {replica 18 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} nsds50ruv: {replica 17 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} nsds50ruv: {replica 16 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} nsds50ruv: {replica 15 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} nsds50ruv: {replica 14 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} nsds50ruv: {replica 13 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} nsds50ruv: {replica 12 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} nsds50ruv: {replica 23 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 54187702000200170000 541878 9a000000170000 dc: our nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 4 ldap://master.our.personal.domain:389} 5447bce8 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 22 ldap://separatenode.our.personal.domain:389} 54436a5e nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 21 ldap://iparepbackup.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 19 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 18 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 17 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 16 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 15 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 14 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 13 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 12 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 nsruvReplicaLastModified: {replica 23 ldap://host-in-question.our.personal.domain:389} 00000000 dn: nsuniqueid=c08a2803-5b5a11e2-a527ce8b-8fa47d35,cn=host-in-question.our.personal.domain,cn=maste rs,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=our,dc=personal,dc=domain objectClass: top objectClass: nsContainer objectClass: nsTombstone cn: host-in-question.our.personal.domain nsParentUniqueId: e6fa9418-5b5711e2-a1a9825b-daf5b5b0 dn: nsuniqueid=664c4383-6d6311e2-8db6e946-de27dd8d,cn=host-in-question.our.personal.domain,cn=maste rs,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=our,dc=personal,dc=domain objectClass: top objectClass: nsContainer objectClass: nsTombstone cn: host-in-question.our.personal.domain nsParentUniqueId: e6fa9418-5b5711e2-a1a9825b-daf5b5b0 As you can see, the "host-in-question" has many RUV's and of which two appear to be "active" and two entries which I believe (pardon my ignorance) possibly correlate with the "active" entries of the "host-in-question". Do these two tombstone entries need to be deleted with ldapdelete before we can re-provision "host-in-question" and add it back as a replica?
