Dear list,
I need to add an index for a new attribute in an active-active
replication scenario.
I know I need to run slapindex to create the index for existing entries
after I changed the configuration file (yes, still on 2.4 with
slapd.conf). But what is the correct procedure to update both servers?
I'm a bit worried that the setup will become out-of-sync if I just update
one server at a time. Would it be better to stop the service on both
servers and re-index the databases at the same time before going online
again?
Stop server 1
change slapd.conf
slapindex -q -f /path/to/slapd.conf -b "your base" <attr name>
start server 1
stop server 2
change slapd.conf
slapindex -q -f /path/to/slapd.conf -b "your base" <attr name>
start server 2
Neither server cares about the indexing in place on the other server. The
main issue would be that queries that are expecting the index to exist will
be slow until it is in place.
