I'm not sure what 'initialized' means. Do you mean that replication
has not been configured? This server has been replicating fine for
over a year.

According to this:
http://freeipa.org/docs/1.2/Installation_Deployment_Guide/en-US/html/sect-Installation_and_Deployment_Guide-Setting_up_Multi_Master_Replication-Managing_Multi_Master_Replication.html

Initialization is the initial copy of data from the master - The slave
server (curie) has been configured and replicating for a while. Maybe
I need to re-initialize with a fresh copy? Do you have any
instructions for doing this?

Thanks,
