[Freeipa-users] Removing a replica fails everytime

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

Seems the un-install option for ipa-server hangs at un-configuring/stopping the web server every time....the result is the master thinks it has a replication agreement but the replica doesnt......its then not possible to re-add the replica to the master....its starts to work but fails when it tries to sync the data...that bit doesnt seem to occur..

Now the assumption seems to be the dirsrv on the server being removed is running...in effect you can only un-install if the system is working...which isnt why you want to --uninstall. DSo if you lose a server and it has no dirsrv you cannot remove it from the master's "memory" so a bare metal restore cannot be added....

Simple solution there needs to be a script or procedure that cleans the master properly.
