RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michael Gregg 2011-05-02 19:40:41 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm trying to use "ipa-replica-manage re-initialize" with no luck. 

When I run ipa-replica-manage I get:

ipa-replica-manage  re-initialize 
re-initialize requires the option --from <host name>

If I try it specifiying a host to re-init, I get:
[root@ipaqavmd managed-replica]# ipa-replica-manage  re-initialize ipaqavme.testrelm
Usage: ipa-replica-manage [options]
ipa-replica-manage: error: Invalid syntax: too many arguments

The man page suggests that re-initialize doesn't take any extra options.  

The cli output suggests otherwise.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.0.0-23.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa-replica-manage  re-initialize
2. ipa-replica-manage  re-initialize <slave to re-init>
  
Expected results: 
I'm hoping to have a way to re-initilize replicas from the cli.

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2011-05-02 20:20:00 UTC
try:

ipa-replica-manage re-initialize --from <slave to re-init>

Comment 3 Michael Gregg 2011-05-02 21:23:27 UTC
That seems to work now. And I now see it as a example in the man page. 

Should the usage be referenced better in the cli output?

Comment 4 Rob Crittenden 2011-05-02 21:30:22 UTC
When you don't provide a from it does explicitly state to use the --from option.
