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 Namita Soman 2011-04-12 17:53:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
When installing client in a master-slave config, an invalid host record was created for client, when testing failover.

Installed client successfully a few times in a master-slave environment going against both servers
Next ran ipactl stop on master, and installed client against replica.
Then started ipa services on master, stopped ipa services on slave, and uninstalled.
Started services on replica, and installed client.
this failed with error that -
RPC failed at server.  Constraint violation: Another entry with the same attribute value already exists (attribute: "krbPrincipalName")

Joining realm failed because of failing XML-RPC request.
  This error may be caused by incompatible server/client major versions.


running ipa host-find
lists this client
but running host-del - says - host not found

ldapsearch listed this client as - 
fqdn=rhel61-client3.testrelm+nsuniqueid=807bb87f-652211e0-9e848fb2-f0f04a39,cn=computers,cn=accounts,dc=testrelm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.0.0-20.el6.x86_64

2. stop master, install client 
3. start master, stop slave, uninstall client
4. start slave, install client
