Multidisp replication error in CA Directory

[jeevanreddy singireddy]

Dear Team,

   We  are trying to do Multi Disp replication between in two DSA's  for CA Directory 14.2. But we are facing below issue in DSA 1 and also same on DSA2 also. and also the replication was also not happening between the two DSA's.

Jeevan,

First of all a little correction. Your Symantec Directory version is not 14.2 as you stated (it sounds like IDM of vApp version) but rather it's 12.6.04 (aka SP4).

Anyway, it seems like you just configured this in MW-DISP recovery replication and seeing this messages? If yes, most probably the problem is not setting the MW-DISP times to current. 

Here is what I suggest (assuming the log snippet is from DSA called 'primdsa').
Run the following command on both servers where these two DSAs are configured.

dxdisp primdsa (note: I have just made up this name, so use your actual 'other' DSA name here)
dxdisp secdsa

Run both commands on both servers as 'dsa' user at system prompt and monitor the logs to see if it still reports this message. Currently your 'vanilla' MW replication itself is working but there seems to be an issue with MW-DISP recovery replication.

If it is still a problem, I suggest open a support case with Broadcom and when/if you do... run 'dxinfo' command at the system prompt as 'dsa' user on both machines and upload the resulting three files (total of six files) to the case.

Filename will be:
hostname_cadir_dxinfo.log
hostname_cadir_config.tar.gz
hostname_cadir_logs.tar.gz

Regards,
Hitesh
