How to reinitialize replication between ipa servers

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Replication between servers and replicas occurs on a schedule. Although replication is frequent, there can be times when it is necessary to initiate the replication operation manually.

  • We are seeing the following errors under the /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-example.com/errors logs:

ERROR: ipahealthcheck.ds.replication.ReplicationCheck.DSREPLLE0003: The replication agreement (IPAserver4.example.com-to-IPAserver3.example.com) under "dc=ipa,dc=example”,dc=com is not in synchronization.
Status message: error (18) can't acquire replica (incremental update transient warning.  backing off, will retry update later.)
