38.10. Manual ID range assignment


In certain situations, it is necessary to manually assign a Distributed Numeric Assignment (DNA) ID range, for example when:

  • A replica has run out of IDs and the IdM ID range is depleted

    A replica has exhausted the DNA ID range that was assigned to it, and requesting additional IDs failed because no more free IDs are available in the IdM range.

    To solve this situation, extend the DNA ID range assigned to the replica. You can do this in two ways:

    • Shorten the DNA ID range assigned to a different replica, then assign the newly available values to the depleted replica.
    • Create a new IdM ID range, then set a new DNA ID range for the replica within this created IdM range.

      For information about how to create a new IdM ID range, see Adding a new IdM ID range.

  • A replica stopped functioning

    A replica’s DNA ID range is not automatically retrieved when the replica stops functioning and must be deleted, which means the DNA ID range previously assigned to the replica becomes unavailable. You want to recover the DNA ID range and make it available for other replicas.

    To do this, find out what the ID range values are, before manually assigning that range to a different server. Also, to avoid duplicate UIDs or GIDs, make sure that no ID value from the recovered range was previously assigned to a user or group; you can do this by examining the UIDs and GIDs of existing users and groups.

You can manually assign a DNA ID range to a replica using the commands in Assigning DNA ID ranges manually.

注記

If you assign a new DNA ID range, the UIDs of the already existing entries on the server or replica stay the same. This does not pose a problem because even if you change the current DNA ID range, IdM keeps a record of what ranges were assigned in the past.
