Add a Replica

Creating multiple NDS partitions does not, by itself, increase fault tolerance or improve performance of the Directory. However, strategically using multiple replicas does.

Add a replica of a partition to a server to provide your Directory tree with

• Fault tolerance
• Faster access to NDS data
• Faster access across a WAN link
• Access to NDS objects in a set context (using bindery services)

You can add a replica of a partition to a server from either the Tree View or the list of Partitions and Servers.
