Server Synchronization in the Replica Ring

When multiple servers hold replicas of the same partition, those servers are considered a replica ring. eDirectory automatically keeps those servers synchronized, so the object data is consistent on all replicas.

The following eDirectory processes keep servers in the replica ring synchronized:

• Replica synchronization

  For more information on replica synchronization, see Administering Replicas.

• Schema synchronization
• Limber
• Backlink

  For more information on Backlink, see "Forcing the Backlink Process to Run" in the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 Installation Guide.

• Connection management
