ipa-replica-prepare gives the error 'The replica must be created on the primary IPA server' on RHEL6.5

Issue

The following error is seen when trying to build a replica from an existing IPA replica:

[root@ldap02 ~]# ipa-replica-prepare ldap06.example.com
Directory Manager (existing master) password: 

The replica must be created on the primary IPA server.
If you installed IPA with your own certificates using PKCS#12 files you must provide PKCS#12 files for any replicas you create as well.
[root@ldap02 ~]# 

Can I not initiate replication from ldap02? I don't want to move the primary (ldap01) anywhere, just to be able to build replication as per my desired topology.
