I'm not really 100% sure why we didn't put RHEL 6.4 on.  I think it had to do with some RAID hard drive enclosure driver issues and Dell recommended 6.3.  Anyhow, we are running 1.2.1 currently and I suppose we would want to run the latest.

The latest is RHEL 6.4 - you will want to run RHEL 6.4 in order to use 389-ds-base-1.2.11 which has the CLEANALLRUV task which you will need to use to scrub your replication metadata of your old servers once you have completely switched over.  Otherwise, you'll have to use CLEANRUV and depend on timing and the whims of the replication protocol.
 We were looking at some of the docs but hadn't really found anything "step by step" so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [389-users] Question about installing on new servers

We have 2 new servers that we are bringing into our suite, and we'd like them to eventually take over the current 389-ds role.  We currently have 2 servers that are running 1.2.1 on CentOS 5.7 64-bit, and the 2 new servers are being installed with RHEL 6.3 64-bit.  What we'd ultimately like to see/have happen is:

install 389-ds on the new servers
set up replication to replicate the data from the 2 old servers to the 2 new servers
point the underlying LDAP operations to the 2 new servers
take the 2 old servers out of the mix

Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on if this is a good plan?  And the best way to accomplish what we'd like to do?

Yes, that should work.

Why not RHEL 6.4?

What version of 389-ds-base are you planning to use?

Thanks,
