Creating and Managing Directory Services Partitions
7 To send updates to all the other replicas, choose “Yes.”
The replica information is sent to all other replicas of the partition (including the
master replica).
Additional Information
Receiving Updates from Other Replicas
Although NDS automatically synchronizes the directory data of replicas, (so
that each replica contains the most recent data) you can manually
synchronize (update) the directory data of replicas if they get out of sync.
You should use the Directory Services Repair utility to discover if the data in
some replicas is out of sync with the master replica. If the data is out of sync,
you would want those replicas to receive updates from the master replica
manually.
You cannot choose “Receive Updates From Other Replicas” from a master
replica. The master is assumed to be the most current and accurate copy of
the partition. If it is not, you should assign one of the other replicas to be the
master using the PARTMGR utility.
If you choose “Receive Updates From Other Replica” from any replica, that
replica receives NDS information from the master.
You can receive updates from other replicas using NetWare Administrator or
PARTMGR. Both procedures are documented in this section.
Receiving Updates Using NetWare Administrator
Prerequisites
• A 386 or later workstation and NetWare Administrator
• A minimum of 6 MB of memory available on the workstation
• The Supervisor object right to the object at the root of the partition for the replicas
