HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 administrator guide

on initializing consumers, see “Initializing consumers”. For multi-master replication, consider
the following:
Ensure one supplier has the complete set of data to replicate to the other suppliers. Use
this one supplier to initialize the replica on all other suppliers in the multi-master
replication set.
Initialize the replicas on the consumer servers from any of the multi-master suppliers.
Do not try to reinitialize the servers when the replication agreements are set up. For
example, do not initialize server1 from server2 if server2 has already been initialized
from server1. In this case, select Do not initialize consumer.
