Once again, replication/sync has been lost. I really wish the

Servers running for 6 days no issues. No new accounts or changes

longer in sync.
I can test it easily by adding an account and then waiting a few
minutes, then
run "ipa user-show --all username" on all the servers, and only a
few of them
have the account. I have now waited 15 minutes, still no luck.
Oh well.. I guess I will go look at alternatives. I had such high
hopes for
this tool. Thanks so much everyone for all your help in trying to
get things
stable, but for whatever reason, there is a random loss of sync
among the
servers and obviously this is not acceptable.
Hello Janelle,
I am very sorry to hear about your troubles. Would you be still OK
with helping us (mostly Ludwig and Thierry) investigate what is the
root cause of the instability of the replication agreements? This is
obviously something that should not be happening at this rate as in
your deployment, so I would really like to be able to identity and
fix this issue in the 389 DS.
Hello Janelle,
I can only join my voice to Martin to say how I am sorry to read this.
Would you turn on replication logging level (8192) on the
master/consumer and provide us the logs(access/error) and config
(dse.ldif).
The master is the instance where you can see the update and the that
is linked (replica agreement) to a replica(aka consumer) where the
update is not received.
what puzzles me most, is that replication is working for quite some
time and then breaks, so we need to find out about the dynamics which
lead to that state. You reported errors about invalid credentials or
about a bind dn entry not found, these credentials don't get changed
by ds or entries are not deleted by ds, so what triggers these changes.
also for the suggestion by Thierry to debug, we need to determine
where replication breaks, if you add an account and it is propageted
to some servers and not to others, where does it stop ? This depends
on your replication topology, you said in anotehr post that you have a
ring topology, does it mean all 16 servers are conencted in a ring
only, and if two links break the topology is disconnected ?
thanks
thierry
Let me see about getting some debug logs going to provide more info. As
for topology -- yes, ring, but also within the DC - the 3 servers are
connected in an internal ring. There have been no outages on the WAN
connections, as I have logs showing network data at all times, so this
is not an issue. If I did lose a WAN, dozens of other inter-DC apps
would blow up too, and they have not.
However, I guess you are right, I have not provided enough logging data
to help diagnose this. Let me see what I can do. Not sure if this helps
-- I do try and do all updates from a single master, never from
different ones. Users are also forced to the same master to change
passwords and update things. So the "source" of changes is always the same.
Time to go do some log enabling...
