`extremely car~ful with this oplion\ If a server is either no longer in the tree or
`longer contains a replica but still appears in the replica ring, you should

`each server that contains a replica, as well as the IDs of both the remote and
`local servers. This is the same infonnation that is checked when you select the
`Unattended Full Repair option from the main menu. Inother words, you can

`option, you can run an Unattended Full Repair or Repair LocalDatabase, both
`of which are equivalent to this operation.

`all the time value stamps in the master replica to see whether any of them are
`ahead of the cunent time. If they are, they are replaced vvith the cunent
`timestamp. After all the timestamps are consistent, a new epoch is decb.red.
`
`An epoch is a number (the first one is 1, next one 2, and so on) selected as a
`point of reference for Directory Services. The epoch is also knmvn as the
`partition creation time. An epoch is used to create a new timestamp, which
`controls the replica synchronization. vVhen a ne,v epoch is declared, it starts
`the master rephca, and the other replicas 'Will not receive updates from a
`different epoch. The master replica sends out all objects until all replicas are
`fully synchronized \Vi.th the new epoch. All objects on other replicas are
`as unknov,rn. The master then marks all replicas as new and resends all
`:infom1ation.
`
`Be careful \Vith the Repair Timestamps and_ Declare a New Epoch option
`because it will lose changes made in a previous epoch. For example.,

`Background Process
`In addition to the debugging messages, which help you check the status of .·
`there is a set of commands that force the NDS background processes to run. To foli
`background process to run, you precede the command with an asterisk(*). An e
`would be:
`
`SET DSTRACE = *H
`
`You can also change the status, timing, and control for a few of the foci{
`processes. To change these values, you must precede the command with an ci · · · ·
`point (!) and enter a new parameter or value. An example would be:
`
`SET DSTRACE = !H 15
`
`(parameter value in minutes)
`
`Here is the syntax for each statement controlling the background nrc>tei;ses:otl
`
`SET DSTRACE = *<trace flag> [parameter]
`
`or
`
`SET DSTRACE = !<trace flag> [parameter]
`
`Table 10.5 lists the trace flags for the background processes,
`parameters, and describes the process it will display.

`performed by the master replica of that partition, master replicas should be used to
`'Jy any partition operation. Some of the NDS partition operations are analyzed step

`T6have a complete replica list of these partitions, you have to consider thesubordinate
`ii~ferences (also knO'wn as subrefs) that are created. When a server holds the copy of a
`.Pattition such as read/write (RW), read only (RO), or master (M) of a pareri[partition,
`'.'Bht does not hold the copy of the child partition, NDS automatically creates a:shhordinate
`leference, facilitating a link from the parent partition to the child partition, The link is
`/11¢~essary so that if the server holding the parent partition is queried about an object that
`(¢x;:ists on one of its child partitions, it knows which server to talk to. Ih other words,
`],µbordinate reference replicas are critical to the tree walking process, which is performed
`'/Bf the NetWare 4.1 servers. Therefore, the replica list above will actually appear as
`]hownin Table 10.7.

`ADDING REPLICAS
`The Add Replica operation adds a new replica to a partition~ ,c.µ,uu,u,
`used fairly often by your administrators. Here are the steps ,avun''-U.
`
`• The master replica of the partition adds the server name
`the replica list.

`
`• The master replica sends all the objects in the partition
`You have a new state until the master has successfully
`the new replica.
