Cause: Setting up an IPA replica will hang if it cannot contact a master. Consequence: Setting up an IPA replica fails. Fix: Add a new utility, ipa-replica-conncheck, that verifies that the replica and master can communicate in both directions. Result: If there is a network communication issue it will be caught and a warning printed instead of proceeding and having the installation hang.

Description Jenny Severance 2011-03-18 14:34:23 UTC
Description of problem:
If the IPA replica's DS port is unreachable (PKI-CA instance), the replica install will hang attempting to initialize the replication agreement.

Install attempt with Replica's Firewall running:

# ipa-replica-install -p Secret123 /dev/shm/replica-info-dhcp-100-19-174.testrelm.gpg
Configuring ntpd
  [1/4]: stopping ntpd
  [2/4]: writing configuration
  [3/4]: configuring ntpd to start on boot
  [4/4]: starting ntpd
done configuring ntpd.
Configuring directory server for the CA: Estimated time 30 seconds
  [1/3]: creating directory server user
  [2/3]: creating directory server instance
  [3/3]: restarting directory server
done configuring pkids.
Configuring certificate server: Estimated time 6 minutes
  [1/13]: creating certificate server user
  [2/13]: creating pki-ca instance
  [3/13]: restarting certificate server
  [4/13]: configuring certificate server instance


DS error log:

Last entry:
[18/Mar/2011:09:46:10 -0400] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=masterAgreement1-dhcp-100-19-174.testrelm-pki-ca" (dhcp-100-19-174:7389): Replica has a different generation ID than the local data.


Subsequently, stopping the replica's firewall, the DS errors log gets flooded with the above message.
