This article applies to the following ZCS versions. |
Copying a Provider database to the Replica
If an ldap replica is not in sync with the provider, it is possible to manually load all of the data from the provider into the replica. There are two methods of doing this. Either using slapcat/slapadd, or using mdb_copy.
Using slapcat/slapadd to reload the replica
On the ZCS node where the ldap master is running
Export an ldif of the master ldap database.
# su - zimbra $ ~/libexec/zmslapcat /tmp
On the ZCS node where the ldap replica is running
Copy the file ldap.bak from the master to the replica (this example assumes that the hostname of the master is master.domain.com).
# su - zimbra $ scp zimbra@master.domain.com:/tmp/ldap.bak /tmp/ldap-master.ldif
Stop the ldap service.
$ ldap stop
As root, move aside the existing ldap data (for this example, the data directory is renamed with the current date (2007-12-07) and state (out-of-sync) of the data), and create a new empty data directory.
$ exit # mv /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb.2007-12-07-out-of-sync # mkdir -p /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db # mkdir -p /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/logs # chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb
Copy in the old DB_CONFIG file:
# cd /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db # cp -p ../../hdb.2007-12-07-out-of-sync/db/DB_CONFIG .
As the zimbra user, import the ldap master data. This may take minutes (or even hours), depending on the amount of data.
# su - zimbra $ ~/openldap/sbin/slapadd -q -b "" -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -l /tmp/ldap-master.ldif
Then start the ldap service and run a test query.
$ ldap start $ zmprov -l getAllServers
