1398594 – ipa topologysuffix-verify should only warn about maximum number of replication agreements.

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 German Parente 2016-11-25 11:30:08 UTC

Description of problem:

ipa topologysuffix-verify domain
========================================================
Replication topology of suffix "domain" contains errors.
========================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended maximum number of agreements per replica exceeded
-------------------------------------------------------------
  Maximum number of agreements per replica: 4
  Server "p0029ipa03.unix.local" has 5 agreements with servers:
    i22ldap-ipa02.unix.local
    p0029ipa04.unix.local
    p00iuipa02.unix.local
    p029i35ipa02.unix.local
    p00iuipa02.unix.local


the message should turn into a warning or let's disable this check since lots of customers have more than 4 agreements per replica.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python2-ipaclient-4.4.0-12.el7.noarch

                                          'agreements per replica exceeded')))

========================
       # check if suggested maximum number of agreements per replica
        max_agmts_errors = []
        for m in master_cns:
            # chosen direction doesn't matter much given that 'both' is the
            # only allowed direction
            suppliers = graph.get_tails(m)
            if len(suppliers) > self.api.env.recommended_max_agmts:
                max_agmts_errors.append((m, suppliers))

=======================


    # Topology plugin
    ('recommended_max_agmts', 4),  # Recommended maximum number of replication
                                   # agreements

Comment 1 Martin Bašti 2016-11-25 12:07:16 UTC

We have recommendation in docs that max 4 replication agreements should be used
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/index.html#replica-topology-recommendations

I'm totally against of removal this check, users should be informed that they don't follow recommendations and putting themselves to risk and inefficient replication.

But to not scary people we may transform this to warning.

version:
ipa-server-4.5.4-7.el7.x86_64

Steps:

1. Install Master with 5 replica just to exceed the recommended limit.
2. $ ipa topologysuffix-verify domain

Actual result:

[root@master ~]# ipa topologysuffix-verify domain
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended maximum number of agreements per replica exceeded
-------------------------------------------------------------
  Maximum number of agreements per replica: 4
  Server "master.testrelm.test" has 5 agreements with servers:
    replica1.testrelm.test
    replica2.testrelm.test
    replica3.testrelm.test
    replica4.testrelm.test
    replica5.testrelm.test

[root@master ~]# ipa server-find
---------------------
6 IPA servers matched
---------------------
  Server name: master.testrelm.test
  Min domain level: 0
  Max domain level: 1

  Server name: replica1.testrelm.test
  Min domain level: 0
  Max domain level: 1

  Server name: replica2.testrelm.test
  Min domain level: 0
  Max domain level: 1

  Server name: replica3.testrelm.test
  Min domain level: 0
  Max domain level: 1

  Server name: replica4.testrelm.test
  Min domain level: 0
  Max domain level: 1

  Server name: replica5.testrelm.test
  Min domain level: 0
  Max domain level: 1
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 6
----------------------------

Warning can be seen when recommended replication agreement exceeded.

Based on above observation marking the bug verified.
