15.16. Moving the Replication Changelog Directory
In certain situations, you might want to change the Directory Server replication changelog directory. For example, to change the directory to
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/new_changelogdb/
:
- Display the current directory:
# ldapsearch -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -p 389 -h server.example.com -x \ -b "cn=changelog5,cn=config" nsslapd-changelogdir ... nsslapd-changelogdir: /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/changelogdb/
You need the displayed path in a later step to move the directory. - Set the new path:
# ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -p 389 -h server.example.com -x dn: cn=changelog5,cn=config changetype: modify replace: nsslapd-changelogdir nsslapd-changelogdir: /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/new_changelogdb/
- Stop the Directory Server instance:
# systemctl stop dirsrv@instance_name
- Move the content of the previous directory to
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/new_changelogdb/
:# mv /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/changelogdb/ \ /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/new_changelogdb/
- Delete the previous directory:
# rm /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/changelogdb/
- Start the Directory Server instance:
# systemctl start dirsrv@instance_name
