• Cancel Partition Operation<br />
Cancels a partition operation on the selected partition. This option might be necessary if an<br />
operation appears to be incomplete or is not completing due to problems in the <strong>eDirectory</strong> tree,<br />
such as a missing server or bad communication links. Some operations might not be cancelled<br />
if they have progressed too far.<br />
• Designate This Server as the New Master Replica<br />
Designates the local replica of the selected partition as the new master replica. Use this option<br />
to designate a new master replica if the original master replica is lost.<br />
• Report Synchronization Status of All Servers<br />
Reports replica synchronization status of all partitions on the current server. It displays the time<br />
of the last successful synchronization to all servers and any errors that have occurred since the<br />
last synchronization.<br />
• Synchronize the Replica on All Servers<br />
Determines the complete synchronization status on every server that has a replica of the<br />
selected partition. This helps you determine the health of a partition. If all of the servers with a<br />
replica of the partition are synchronizing properly, then the partition is considered healthy.<br />
Each server performs an immediate synchronization to every other server in the replica ring.<br />
Servers do not synchronize to themselves. Therefore, the status for the current server’s own<br />
replicas is displayed as Host.<br />
• Repair Ring, All Replicas<br />
Repairs the replica ring of all the replicas displayed in the replica table.<br />
• Repair Ring, Selected Replica<br />
Repairs the replica ring of selected replica listed in the replica table.<br />

IMPORTANT: Repairing a replica ring consists of checking the replica ring information on<br />
each server that contains a replica of a given partition and validating remote ID information. If<br />
you have not repaired the local <strong>eDirectory</strong> database in the last 30 minutes, you should do so<br />
before repairing all or selected rings. You can repair the local database using the -R option. For<br />
more information, see “-R” on page 67.<br />
• View Replica Ring<br />
Displays a list of all servers that contain a replica of the selected partition. This set of servers is<br />
called the replica ring. The replica ring list shows information about the type of replica and<br />
current status for each server in the ring. Select a server after viewing the replica ring to view<br />
server options.<br />

• Report Synchronization Status on the Selected Server<br />
Reports replica synchronization status for a selected partition that has a replica on a<br />
selected server. This operation reads the synchronization status attribute from the replica<br />
root object on each server that holds replicas of the partitions. It displays the time of the<br />
last successful synchronization to all servers and any errors that have occurred since the<br />
last synchronization. This option displays a warning message if synchronization has not<br />
completed within 12 hours.<br />
• Synchronize the Replica on the Selected Server<br />
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 />
