Hi Everyone - I’m running into this odd issue I can’t seem to find a resolution to. Long story short, my IPA master was on a system that had a power failure. Upon bring up, the dirsrv failed to start up due to a zero byte dse.ldif file. Used a “backup” of the file and my master seemed to have came back up ok however replication seems to have stopped working.
When I noticed that replication wasn’t working from the replicas to the master I went digging and found this (which led me to try to recover by removing the old replicas and trying to do a reinstall) : replica.domain.net: replica last update status: Error (6) Replication error acquiring replica: Unable to acquire replica: there is no replicated area on the consumer server. Replication is aborting. (no such replica) last update ended: 2021-05-20 15:29:28+00:00 The above “last update” corresponds with the power outage that took down the IPA master. I’m trying to re-initialize the replication by doing a reinstall of the replica server but I’m failing with the following error : Disabled p11-kit-proxy Configuring directory server (dirsrv).

Please choose a directory that does not exist or is empty. Your system may be partly configured. Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up. Operations error: The changelog directory [/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-REPLICA-DOMAIN-NET/cldb] already exists and is not empty. Please choose a directory that does not exist or is empty. The ipa-replica-install command failed. See /var/log/ipareplica-install.log for more information I’ve since done several uninstalls and verified at each uninstall the /var/lib/dirsrv directory is empty. Any pointers on how to get past this issue would be great since I have about 10 more replicas to get back up. Thanks. Sinh
