But I got interrupted by another problem popped up. The problem is here: (all IPA masters are replicas are 2.1.3 on redhat 6.2).</div><div><br></div><div> The same setup is tested: A is the master, B, C, D are replicas. A works as a HUB, and B,C,D are replicated with A directly and only.</div><div><br></div><div> A</div><div>/ | \</div><div>B C D</div><div><br></div><div>The setup procedure is as the following:</div><div><br></div><div>1, Install A and restart IPA services (ipactl restart)</div><div>2, create replicas information files for B, C, D.</div><div>3, install replica B.</div><div>4, install replica C.</div><div>5, Install replica D.</div><div><br></div><div>At here run 'ipa-replica-manage list' on A, B, C, D separately and we found the following odd results:</div><div><br></div><div>1, on Master A:</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>see all A, B, C, D</div><div><br></div><div> 2, on replica B: (the first installed replica)</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>see only A, B</div><div><br></div><div>3, on replica C: (the second installed replica)</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>see only A, B, C</div><div><br></div><div>4, on the replica D: (the last installed replica)</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>see all A, B, C, D</div><div> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div> wait for 10 minutes and check again still no change; restart IPA services on A, B, C, D still see no changes; reboot all A, B, C, D still see no changes. Though the 'ipa-csreplica-mange list' command shows ALL A,B,C,D servers on all A,B,C,D servers.</div><div><br></div><div> And so the command 'ipa-manage-list D' on replicas C reports that 'D is not in the public server list.'</div><div><br></div><div>The setup and testing environment takes no more than one hour to duplicate. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>--Gelen</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
