Handling RM data synchronization errors

If an error occurs during RM data synchronization, you must synchronize the data manually. To do this, export the RM authorisations from the active master instance using the partial file mode and import them to each remote instance. The partial file mode is necessary to ensure that no authorisations are lost during this process.

  1. On the active master instance:
    1. Ensure that the LAU key DnfRmaSync is configured as described in Configure a LAU key for a master instance.
    2. Issue the export command and specify the file mode partial.
      For example, the following commands export a partial distribution file to the /tmp directory:
      dnicli -i INST1 -ou DNFSYSOU -s DNF_L_ADM
      ex -dir /tmp -lkn DnfRmaSync -filemode partial
      For more information about this command, see export.
      The generated distribution file name has a name of the form:
      rm_export_DNFSYSOU_timestamp
  2. Transfer the generated distribution file to each remote instance.
  3. On each remote instance:
    1. Ensure that the LAU key DnfRmaSync is configured as described in Configure a LAU key for a remote instance
    2. Issue the import command and specify the file mode partial.
      For example, the following commands import a partial distribution file from the /tmp directory:
      dnicli -i INST2 -ou DNFSYSOU -s DNF_L_ADM
      im -file rm_export_DNFSYSOU_timestamp -dir /tmp
         -lkn DnfRmaSync -filemode partial
