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 Dmitri Pal 2012-05-23 15:21:04 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #819110 +++

This bug is to track the doc effort that this functionality is not supported.

---------------------------------------------

Description of problem:

Trying to test something else, I ran into a problem when trying to have one IPA server on RHEL 6.2 and another on 6.3.   I tried both master=6.3/replica=6.2 and master=6.2/replica=6.3.   I'll have to re-run the tests to get the latter error but, I believe it was the same as the former which I have here:

I setup a RHEL 6.3 IPA Master.   Then I tried to setup a RHEL 6.2 Replica
but, the install fails.  However, during install, I do see some errors but, not
the invalid syntax ones.   Could those be from multiple re-install attempts?

### On MASTER:
# ipa-replica-prepare -p $ADMINPW --ip-address=$SLAVEIP $hostname_s.$DOMAIN

### On REPLICA:
# ipa-replica-install -U --setup-dns --forwarder=$DNSFORWARD --setup-ca -w
$ADMINPW -p $ADMINPW /dev/shm/replica-info-$hostname_s.$DOMAIN.gpg

...looked normal until the following error:

  [29/29]: configuring directory to start on boot
done configuring dirsrv.
creation of replica failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/tmp/tmp1O5dxFipa/realm_info/ldappwd'

Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
master=2.2.0-12 from RHEL 6.3
replica=2.1.3-9 from RHEL 6.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
On MASTER (RHEL 6.3):
1.  <setup rhel 6.3 master>
2.  ipa-replica-prepare -p $ADMINPW --ip-address=$SLAVEIP $hostname_s.$DOMAIN
On REPLICA (RHEL 6.2)
3.  sftp root@$MASTERIP:/var/lib/ipa/replica-info-$hostname_s.$DOMAIN.gpg
4.  ipa-replica-install -U --setup-dns --forwarder=$DNSFORWARD --setup-ca -w
$ADMINPW -p $ADMINPW /dev/shm/replica-info-$hostname_s.$DOMAIN.gpg

Actual results:

  [29/29]: configuring directory to start on boot
done configuring dirsrv.
creation of replica failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/tmp/tmp1O5dxFipa/realm_info/ldappwd'

Your system may be partly configured.
Run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall to clean up.

Expected results:

6.2 server setup as replica of the 6.3 master.
