Hi, I desperately need your help/advice with our ipa update process. Briefly, we'd like to update our IPA 3.0 installation based on CentOS 6.7 to a newer version, and I read that the way of doing it is to create a new replica with a newer version of IPA server. Before writing this post, I browsed for similar issues (there are many of them with similar outcome) and tried to apply the suggested solutions but no luck. I also tried previous versions of Fedora (18 and 19) but again no luck. It seems I'm stuck and I don't know how to proceed :( Thank you in advance to anyhow who will take the time to read my message :) Let's start! Right now we have a single running on Centos 6.7, and we are planning to create a replica with Fedora 20 which has IPA 3.3 Here are the details of the master (ipaserver) [root@ipaserver ~]# uname -a Linux ipaserver.it.fx.lan 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:19:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@ipaserver ~]# rpm -qa|grep -E 'freeipa-server|pki-ca' ipa-pki-ca-theme-9.0.3-7.el6.noarch pki-ca-9.0.3-43.el6.noarch And here are the details of the replica (ipaserver-ha2 Replica server on Fedora 20: [root@ipaserver-ha2 ~]# uname -a Linux ipaserver-ha2.it.fx.lan 3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:08:50 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@ipaserver-ha2 ~]# rpm -qa|grep -E 'freeipa-server|pki-ca' pki-ca-10.1.2-7.fc20.noarch freeipa-server-3.3.5-1.fc20.x86_64 Here are the steps I made: <ul> <li>Before starting the replica I updated the schema of the master with the copy-schema-to-ca.py script <li>I prepared the replica certificates on the server ("ipa-replica-prepare ipaserver-ha2.it.fx.lan --ip-address 10.0.0.10") and transferred to the replica server on the same folder <li>The I ran the replica install and here's the output:</ul>[root@ipaserver-ha2 ~]# ipa-replica-install --setup-ca --setup-dns --no-forwarders --no-ntp /var/lib/ipa/replica-info-ipaserver-ha2.it.fx.lan.gpg Directory Manager (existing master) password: Run connection check to master Check connection from replica to remote master 'ipaserver.it.fx.lan': Directory Service: Unsecure port (389): OK Directory Service: Secure port (636): OK Kerberos KDC: TCP (88): OK Kerberos Kpasswd: TCP (464): OK HTTP Server: Unsecure port (80): OK HTTP Server: Secure port (443): OK PKI-CA: Directory Service port (7389): OK The following list of ports use UDP protocol and would need to be checked manually: Kerberos KDC: UDP (88): SKIPPED Kerberos Kpasswd: UDP (464): SKIPPED Connection from replica to master is OK.
