Running ipa-getkeytab on this replica is tricky - as if replication is down and 
you do this, the old key is revoked and new one is generated - which is not 
known for the other master as replication is not working and you get in a 
strange situation.

You can try to log to your active master, do ipa-getkeytab for the broken 
replica, copy the keytab there, restart DS and then run re-initialize to reload 
all the data from active master. It may work.

That may be even faster for the making that particular replica up and running 
again, if you do not want to dig too much in this issue.
