[Freeipa-users] Repair a corrupted database

[Chris Mohler]

Hi List,

I've got two boxes running FreeIPA 4.1.4. The Database on the first 
master is corrupted.

Log looks like this:

Looks like it's broken. Good news is I have a replica that's working 
quite well.

What I'd like to do is to recover the database or create a new database 
on the first master and then just fill it with the current data from the 
replica. Is this possible? As a lazy admin I'm hoping to avoid making 
the replica the CA and building a new replica.

Can someone point me to a guide, docs or walk me through the procedure?

Thanks
