preparation of replica failed

Post by gnapp42 » 2018/09/19 09:25:08

Ive encountered a issue when preparing for ipa migration.
On the source ipa server.

ipa-replica-prepare newipaserver.example.com --ip-address x.x.x.x
Directory Manager (existing master) password:

Preparing replica for newipaserver.example.com from oldipaserver.example.com
preparation of replica failed: cannot connect to u'ldaps://oldipaserver.example.com:7390': LDAP Server Down
cannot connect to u'ldaps://oldipaserver.example.com:7390': LDAP Server Down
File "/usr/sbin/ipa-replica-prepare", line 529, in <module>
main()

File "/usr/sbin/ipa-replica-prepare", line 391, in main
update_pki_admin_password(dirman_password)

File "/usr/sbin/ipa-replica-prepare", line 247, in update_pki_admin_password
bind_pw=dirman_password

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ipalib/backend.py", line 63, in connect
conn = self.create_connection(*args, **kw)

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ipaserver/plugins/ldap2.py", line 846, in create_connection
self.handle_errors(e)

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ipaserver/plugins/ldap2.py", line 736, in handle_errors
error=u'LDAP Server Down').

Ive also encountered the same issue on a test environment, but i cant fully reproduce the circumstances.
ipactl restart had no effect.

# ipactl status
Directory Service: RUNNING
KDC Service: RUNNING
KPASSWD Service: RUNNING
DNS Service: RUNNING
MEMCACHE Service: RUNNING
HTTP Service: RUNNING
CA Service: RUNNING

Seems like a known issue but i cant find a solution.

Is anything listening on port 7390 of oldipaserver? Is it on other than localhost? Is the firewall open for that port?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Then you either have the wrong port number or whatever it is that should be listening there is not.
