The other replicas of the partition will combine the new objects sent with the
objects they already have. If the other replicas have data in addition to the data
sent to them, they will retain that data.
Although eDirectory automatically synchronizes the directory data among
replicas (so that each replica is sent the most recently updated directory
objects), this operation lets you manually synchronize the directory objects of
replicas if any replicas get out of sync.

Managing Replication
When you create a new partition, by default eDirectory replicates the partition
on one or more servers in your eDirectory tree. The procedures below explain
how to further configure replication of your tree’s partitions. For replication
concepts and guidelines, see Novell eDirectory Administration Guide >
Guidelines for Replicating Your Tree and Managing Partitions and Replicas.

Viewing Replication Information
1 In the left pane, right-click either a server or a partition root (a container
with an icon next to it) > click Views > click Partition and Replica
View.
Select a server to see all its replicas, no matter which partitions they
replicate. Select a partition root to see all the partition’s replicas, no
matter which servers they are stored on.
The right pane displays a list of the replicas you chose, along with the type
and state of each replica. For descriptions of the replica types, see Novell
eDirectory Administration Guide > Replicas. For descriptions of the
replica states, see “About Replica States” on page 87.
