You can change a replica’s type using NetWare Administrator or
PARTMGR. Both procedures are documented in this section.
Changing a Replica’s Type 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 replica
you want to change
Procedure
1 From the Windows Program Manager, click on the “NetWare Administrator”
icon.
2 From the “Tools” menu, select “Partition Manager.”
3 Browse the “Partition Manager” screen to locate the Server object that contains
the replica type you want to change.
If the NetWare Server object does not appear in the window, browse the
Directory tree either by choosing an object to see its subordinates or by choosing
the arrow key to move toward the Root. Your current context appears in the
upper left corner of the screen.
For information about moving around in the “Partition Manager” screen and
selecting objects, choose “Help” from the main menu bar.
4 Select the partition whose replica you want to change and choose “Replicas.”
5 From the list of replicas, select the replica you want to change.
Be careful to select the correct replica by noting the server where it is located as
well as its type.
6 Choose “Change Type.”
7 Choose the type of replica you want the replica to become.
8 Choose “OK.”
The new replica type appears on the “Partition Replicas” screen.
If you created a master replica and one already existed, the replica you just
created is now the master replica and the old master replica is changed
automatically to a read/write replica.
