15.8. Temporarily Suspending Replication
By default, replication is enabled and active as soon as the replication agreement is created, and replication proceeds on the given schedule. There can be times when it is necessary to suspend replication, such as when a server is taken down for maintenance. An attribute can be added to the replication agreement entry which disables replication.
15.8.1. Disabling Replication
The
nsds5ReplicaEnabled attribute on the replication entry sets whether the replication agreement is active. This attribute is missing by default and has a presumed value of on, meaning that replication is enabled.
To stop replication from a supplier, set the
nsds5ReplicaEnabled attribute on the supplier to off.
# ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -p 389 -h server.example.com -x
dn: cn=ExampleAgreement,cn=replica,cn=dc\=example\,dc\=com,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: nsds5ReplicaEnabled
nsds5ReplicaEnabled: off15.8.2. Re-enabling Replication
- To re-enable replication, set the
nsds5ReplicaEnabledattribute on the supplier toon.# ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -p 389 -h server.example.com -x dn: cn=ExampleAgreement,cn=replica,cn=dc\=example\,dc\=com,cn=mapping tree,cn=config changetype: modify replace: nsds5ReplicaEnabled nsds5ReplicaEnabled: on
- Initiate an update, such as using the
replicate_now.shscript as described in Section 15.17.2, “Forcing Replication Updates from the Command Line”.
