27.10. Setting up replication between two servers using the CLI

Prerequisites

• You have the IdM administrator credentials.

Procedure

• Create a topology segment for the two servers. When prompted, provide:

  • The required topology suffix: domain or ca
  • The left node and the right node, representing the two servers

  • Optional: A custom name for the segment

    For example:

    $ ipa topologysegment-add
    Suffix name: domain
    Left node: server1.example.com
    Right node: server2.example.com
    Segment name [server1.example.com-to-server2.example.com]: new_segment
    ---------------------------
    Added segment "new_segment"
    ---------------------------
      Segment name: new_segment
      Left node: server1.example.com
      Right node: server2.example.com
      Connectivity: both

    Adding the new segment joins the servers in a replication agreement.

Verification

• Verify that the new segment is configured:

  $ ipa topologysegment-show
  Suffix name: domain
  Segment name: new_segment
    Segment name: new_segment
    Left node: server1.example.com
    Right node: server2.example.com
    Connectivity: both
