Adding an NDS or eDirectory Replica

Because Novell BorderManager 3.7 is a Novell Licensing Services (NLS) enabled application, the first Novell BorderManager 3.7 server installed into a tree or a particular partition must be installed on a NetWare server that holds a read/write replica of that partition. All Novell BorderManager 3.7 servers installed into the same partition at a later time are not required to have a read/write replica. You do not need to add a replica to install Novell BorderManager 3.7 on the first three servers in a tree because these servers already have NDS® or Novell eDirectoryTM replicas by default. The first server holds a master, and the second and third servers hold read/write replicas. Use the NDS or eDirectory Manager utility to add a read/write replica.

This utility is available to NetWare 5.1 users only.

To add a read/write replica to a server, complete the following steps:

  1. From your administration workstation, run the NDS or eDirectory Manager utility (SYS:\PUBLIC\WIN95\NDSMGR32.EXE).

  2. Select the partition you want to replicate.

  3. From the object menu, select Add Replica.

  4. Click Browse to select the server on which to place the replica.

  5. Click the Server object representing the NetWare server to which you want to add the read/write replica > click OK.

  6. Click the Read/Write radio button > click OK.

  7. Select Yes to continue.

    After the utility adds the replica, the replica's status is displayed as New. After the status of the replica changes to On, you can continue with the Novell BorderManager 3.7 installation.

  8. From the object menu, select Exit.

If you are a NetWare 6.0 user to add a read/write replica to a server, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to ConsoleOne > log in > select the container/tree

  2. Select View > Partition or Replica View

  3. On the right panel select Replica List table > right click

  4. Select Add Replica

  5. Select the browser > select the server where you want to put replica

  6. Select the replica type as read/write > click OK
