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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-2.1.0-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
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.
