This article applies to the following ZCS versions. |
Zimbra Multi-Master Replication
The ability to have more than a single functioning master has been added with ZCS 8.0 and later. This document details the steps required for setting up a Multi-Master configuration, as well as how to perform administrative tasks such as promote an existing replica to be part of the multi-master pool. Multi-Master Replication will be shortened to MMR for the rest of this document.
Enabling Multi-Master replication on an existing Single node master
This assumes you already have an installed single-master ZCS LDAP server that is not already enabled for MMR. Enabling MMR is a manual one-time step. You will need to know the hostname of the secondary master you plan on adding into the multi-master pool before you can enable MMR on your standalone master.
On the single-node master as the zimbra user:
* ./libexec/zmldapenable-mmr -s 1 -m ldap://secondmaster.example.com:389/
Executing this command will do the following things:
* Set this master's Server ID (sid) to 1 * Tell the master that it will be in a pool with a secondary master named secondmaster.example.com that is listening to LDAP on port 389 * It will use the default Replication ID (rid) of 100 for the secondary master
