Greetings community,

I've run into an interesting problem which may be old hat to all of 
you.  I was working to bring down my first IPA server and did it 
improperly.  It was a rookie mistake, but I'm willing to view it as an 
exercise in recovering from a massive master server failure.


The original master server is gone with no way of recovering and I 
have managed to replace the master server with one of my replicas, but 
I find myself in a situation where I cannot remove the original master 
server from the directory.  It is still seen as a master server and 
the webUI will not let me delete the system.  Is there a process 
somewhere that will walk me through the process of demoting the server 
so I can delete it from the directory?


Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

have you tried ipa-replica-manage del  [--cleanup] 
[--force]  on the current replicas?
