eDirectory Inactivity Synchronization
Interval = number_in_minutes
Specify the maximum elapsed time between exhaustive
synchronization checks. As soon as you change this value, the
system executes the synchronization check. Synchronization
checks then recur at the specified interval.
Supported values: 2 to 1440 minutes
Default: 30
If the system has replicas across a WAN link, this value should be
set as high as 240 minutes (4 hours) to reduce WAN traffic.
eDirectory Synchronization
Restrictions = value,
version_number_list
Specify which versions of eDirectory the server can synchronize
with.
Supported values: OFF, ON, list of version numbers
(Maximum length of version number list: 131 characters)
Default: OFF
To determine what version is currently loaded on a server, type
MODULES at the server prompt. The eDirectory version number
is displayed under the heading DS.NLM.
If this parameter is set to OFF, the server synchronizes with all
versions available.
If this parameter is set to ON, the server synchronizes only with
those versions specified as parameters to the ON value.
Example: ON,420,421
eDirectory Servers Status = value Mark the status of all server objects in the local namebase as UP
or DOWN.
Supported values: UP, DOWN
Use this parameter to reset the status of all the servers if the
status of one server isn’t accurately recognized by the system.
For example, if a server is up but the system recognizes it as
down, set this parameter to mark all servers as up.
Subsequently, the system would reassess the status of all servers
and change the status to down for those servers that were truly
down.
