About this task

These steps assign a partition value to each of the servers.

Procedure

  1. Select the radio button for o=sample and click View servers.
  2. Verify that o=sample is displayed in the Partition base DN field.
  3. In the Back-end directory servers for partition base table, click Add.
  4. From the Back-end directory server drop-down menu, select ServerA.
  5. Ensure that 1 is displayed in the Partition index field.
  6. From the Server role drop-down menu, select the appropriate server role. Note: This value represents the role of a back-end directory server in a particular partition. The ibm-slapdProxyServerRole attribute in the ibm-slapdProxyBackendSplit object class is associated with this value. The values that can be assigned to this attribute are primarywrite or any.
  7. From the Proxy tier list, select a priority that you want to assign.
  8. Click OK.
  9. In the Back-end directory servers for partition base table, click Add.
  10. From the Back-end directory server drop-down menu, select ServerB.
  11. Ensure that 2 is displayed in the Partition index field.Note: This number is automatically incremented for you. You can manually change the partition index number, however, it cannot exceed the actual number of partitions for the base. For example, you cannot use 4 as a partition index, if the partition base has only three partitions. Duplicate partition indexes are only allowed on servers participating in replication on that subtree.
  12. Click OK.
  13. In the Back-end directory servers for partition base table, click Add.
  14. From the Back-end directory server drop-down menu, select ServerC.
  15. Ensure that 3 is displayed in the Partition index field.
  16. From the Server role drop-down menu, select the appropriate server role. Note: This value represents the role of a back-end directory server in a particular partition. The ibm-slapdProxyServerRole attribute in the ibm-slapdProxyBackendSplit object class is associated with this value. The values that can be assigned to this attribute are primarywrite or any.
  17. From the Proxy tier list, select a priority that you want to assign.
  18. Click OK.
  19. When you are finished, click Close.
