[389-users] nsds5replicaLastInitStatus: -2 Total update abortedSystem error

Hi all,

I have two LDAP servers in a multimaster replication setup that has worked fine for a while.

Recently it was reported to me that the two LDAP servers had somehow gone out of sync and refused to replicate. I am trying to fix this by triggering an initialisation from what I've chosen to be authoritative source of data to the other using the instructions here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/CDS/ag/8.0/Managing_Replication-Configuring-Replication-cmd.html#Configuring-Replication-InitializingConsumers-cmd

When the replication is triggered, a few thousand lines appear on the remote side's log that look like this:

[23/Nov/2013:15:00:07 +0000] conn=4402 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Replication Manager,cn=config" method=128 version=3

[23/Nov/2013:15:00:08 +0000] conn=4402 op=5 RESULT err=0 tag=120 nentries=0 etime=0
[snip a few thousand log entries all saying err=0]

The side that I initialised the replication from lists this message as the status, which is too vague to be useful:

nsds5replicaLastInitStatus: -2 Total update abortedSystem error

Does anyone know what the error "-2" means?

Does anyone have any clear and unambiguous instructions for re-initialising two LDAP servers that have gone out of sync?

Regards,
Graham
