The CA component is always optional on replicas. You do not necessarily
want to have a CA replica in every single FreeIPA replica. Usually a few
CA instance (perhaps one or two per geography will suffice).

So you should either pass --setup-ca at ipa-replica-install time or call
ipa-ca-install later.

Comment 3 Rob Crittenden 2011-11-28 22:11:35 UTC
Deon, they will want to do something like:

On the replica to be removed, show all replication agreements:
# ipa-replica-manage list
Directory Manager password: 

ipa.example.com: master
replica.example.com: master

For each server in the list (other than our own, of course):
# ipa-replica-manage del ipa.example.com

Now you can uninstall the replica:
# ipa-server-install --uninstall -U

On a remaining server clean up all references to the old replica:
# ipa host-del replica.example.com
