[Freeipa-users] Confused/lost at promoting a replica into a master

Thanks for pointing out a way to do partial backup/restore.

But the command db2ldif, or its sibling command ldif2db can not be located on IPA master/replica. The IPA servers only install 389-ds-base and 389-ds-base-libs RPMs. and the two commands doesn't show up anywhere. 

Could anyone elaborate how to use the two template commands, or please point me to the document or http link(s) is enough. Thanks a lot.


[root at ipamaster script-templates]# rpm -qa | grep 389
389-ds-base-1.2.9.14-1.el6_2.2.x86_64
389-ds-base-libs-1.2.9.14-1.el6_2.2.x86_64

[root at ipamaster script-templates]# rpm -ql 389-ds-base 389-ds-base-libs | grep -P 'db2ldif|ldif2db'
/usr/share/dirsrv/script-templates/template-db2ldif
/usr/share/dirsrv/script-templates/template-db2ldif.pl
/usr/share/dirsrv/script-templates/template-ldif2db
/usr/share/dirsrv/script-templates/template-ldif2db.pl
[root at ipamaster script-templates]#
