Server ID

In the examples, the server ID of each server is the role of that server in the topology. That is, in the Master-Replica topology, the master identifies the server ID as Master and the replica is identified as Replica. In the Peer-to-Peer topology, one peer is Peer1 and the other is Peer2. In the Master-Forwarder-Replica topology, the master is Master, the forwarder is Forwarder, and the replica is Replica. In the Gateway topology, the gateway servers are Gateway1 and the other is Gateway2 and the replica is Replica.

Do not change the server ID for a server. When the LDAP server is first configured with a CDBM backend, the server ID is generated as an IBM® entry UUID value in the ibm-slapdServerID attribute value in the cn=configuration entry. For convenience, the server ID is published in the rootDSE entry’s attribute ibm-serverID. The server ID is only allowed to be modified when there are no replica subentries defined in the server. For more information about the ibm-slapdServerID attribute value, see CDBM backend configuration and policy entries in z/VM: TCP/IP Planning and Customization.
