Moving or promoting a server

You can move or promote a server using the steps listed here in the procedure.

About this task

Expand the Replication management category in the navigation area and click Manage topology.

Select the subtree that you want and click Show topology.
Select the server that you want and click Move.
Select the server that you want to move the replica to, or select Replication topology to promote the replica to a master. Click Move.
The Create additional supplier agreements is displayed. Deselect the supplier agreements that are not appropriate for the role of the server. You are prompted to select the credentials and consumer information for each new supplier credential being created. Existing supplier agreements from the other servers to the newly promoted server are still in effect and do not need to be re-created.Note: In some cases the Select credentials panel will open asking for a credential which is located in a place other than cn=replication,cn=localhost. In such situations you must provide a credential object which is located in a place other than cn=replication,cn=localhost. Select the credentials the subtree is going to use form the existing sets of credentials or create new credentials. The credential entry should exist or be created on the other masters. See Adding credentials.
Click OK.

The change in the topology tree reflects the moving of the server.
