[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA4.2: Recovering from an IPA master server failure

[Michael Rainey (Contractor)]

Greetings community,

I've run into an interesting problem which may be old hat to all of 
you.  I was working to bring down my IPA master server and did it 
improperly.  It was a rookie mistake, but I'm willing to view it as an 
exercise in recovering from a massive system failure.

The original master server is gone with no way of recovering and I have 
managed to replace the server by promoting one of my replicas, but I 
find myself in a situation where I cannot remove the original master 
server from the LDAP directory.  It is still seen as a master server and 
the webUI will not let me delete the system from directory server.  Is 
there a process somewhere that will walk me through demoting the old 
server so I can delete it from the directory and officially promote its 
replacement?

For reference, I followed the steps located at this link.

Centos 7.2 / freeIPA 4.2

Your help is greatly appreciated.
