Determines the complete synchronization status on the selected server that has a replica of<br />

the selected partition. This helps you determine the health of a partition. If the server with<br />

a replica on the partition is synchronizing properly, the partition is considered healthy. The<br />

server is immediately synchronized to every other server in the replica ring. The server<br />

does not synchronize with itself. Therefore, the status for the current server’s own replica<br />

is displayed as Host.<br />

• Send All Objects to Every Replica in the Ring<br />

Sends all objects from the selected server in the replica ring to all other servers that<br />

contain a replica of the partition. This operation can generate a lot of network traffic. Use<br />

this option to ensure that the selected partition’s replica on the selected server in the<br />

replica ring is synchronized with all other servers in the replica ring. This operation cannot<br />

be performed on a server that contains only a subordinate reference replica of the partition.<br />

• Receive All Objects from the Master to This Replica<br />

Receives all objects from the master replica to the replica on the selected servers. This<br />

operation can generate a lot of network traffic. Use this option to ensure that the selected<br />

partition’s replica on the selected server in the replica ring is synchronized with the master<br />

replica. This operation cannot be performed on a server that contains only a master<br />

replica.<br />

• View Entire Server's Name<br />

Used to view the complete server name when the width of the server name is too long to<br />

view from within the server table.<br />

• Remove This Server from Replica Ring<br />

(Advanced switch option.) Removes a selected server from the selected replica stored on<br />

the current server. If a server appears in the replica ring but it is no longer part of the<br />

<strong>eDirectory</strong> tree or no longer contains a replica of the partition, delete the Server object<br />

using iManager. When the Server object has been deleted, the object should eventually be<br />

excluded from the replica ring.<br />

WARNING: Misuse of this operation can cause irrevocable damage to the <strong>eDirectory</strong><br />

database. You should not use this option unless directed by <strong>Novell</strong> Support personnel.<br />

• View Entire Partition Name<br />

Determines the complete distinguished partition name when the width of the partition is too<br />

great to view from within the replica table.<br />

• Repair Time Stamps and Declare a New Epoch<br />

(Advanced switch option.) Provides a new point of reference to the master replica so that all<br />

updates to replicas of the selected partition are current. This operation is always performed on<br />

the master replica of a partition. The master replica does not need to be in the local replica on<br />

this server. Time stamps are placed on objects when they are created or modified and they must<br />

be unique. All time stamps in a master replica are examined. If any time stamps are post-dated<br />

to the current network time, they are replaced with a new time stamp.<br />

• Destroy the Selected Replica on This Server<br />

(Advanced switch option.) Removes the selected replica on this server. Using this option is not<br />

recommended. Use this option only when all other utilities are unable to delete the replica.<br />

• Delete Unknown Leaf Objects<br />
