Re: [Handle-info] Handle server mirror replication howto - questions

[Eric Auer <eric.auer@mpi.nl>]

Hi Robert,

thanks for the quick and helpful response!

> A single server can carry many prefixes.

Nice.

> However, as currently implemented, handle server replication assumes that the servers in a replication group will be identical.  There is no provision for a server replicating from several sources of distinct handles.  Is there demand for such a feature?

I did not understand that one...

> The mirror will also need a txnsrvsv.bin file.  This file is the siteinfo.bin of the primary server, and is used by the mirror to locate and authenticate the primary.

Interestingly, the mirror where I looked did not have this file and
it seems to be stuck in a loop of 'full redump needed' warnings...?

> In fact, which prefixes are homed will be determined by the primary server and replicated to the mirror.  No action is required.

So you do not have to home anything to the mirror, nor have to tell
the mirror which prefixes to mirror, as all that is in txnsrvsv.bin?

I think the server and mirror keys in my example were different only
because I gathered my examples from servers which are not server and
mirror of each other, but of some other servers.

Regards, Eric
