Cleaning up USN Tombstone Entries:
When an entry is deleted, USN plug-in converts the entry into tombstone. HP recommends you to
use the usn-tombstone-cleanup.pl command to delete USN tombstone entries before
configuring a server as a master or replica.
/opt/dirsrv/slapd-tracy/usn-tombstone-cleanup.pl \
-D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -s "dc=example,dc=com" -m 1100
Either backend or suffix must be specified using –n or –s option. If both are specified, the suffix
option is used.
Table 13 usn-tombstone-cleanup.pl Options:
