Re: Dead server



Remove all replica's. Then do work on all. Od master is a tough one. If the
command does not take a while and ask for diradmin username etc it did not
work. Also do a backup of the openldap db to an ldif. See ip refrences. Run
ipcahnge command, export to ldif see if ip refrences have changed? Then
change ip in sys prefrences.

Also you have a backup of your od master right? We did not so we put the od
master in target disk mode. Make an image. Made a new disk with the image.
So if an od master gets corrupted or hosed after this command pop in the
backup disk and you are up and running.
