Use this dialog box to select a different replica type for the currently selected replica. If the replica is a filtered type, you can edit the filter without having to change the replica type.
Replica Types
Select one of the following replica types:
Master
Users can read and modify the contents of this replica. This replica will be the starting point for any future partitioning activity affecting this partition, such as creating or merging a subpartition. Only one master replica is allowed per partition. The master replica supports bindery services.Read/Write
Users can read and modify the contents of this replica. Choose this option if there are no modifiable replicas close enough to the users who manage the Novell® eDirectoryTM objects in this partition. Read/write replicas support bindery services.Read-Only
Users can read but not modify the contents of this replica. Choose this option if there are no replicas close enough to the users who read but don't modify the eDirectory objects in this partition. Read-only replicas don't support bindery services.Filtered Read/Write
Filtered read/write replicas contain a filtered set of objects or object classes along with a filtered set of attributes and values for those objects. Users can read and modify the contents of the replica, and the contents are limited to the types of eDirectory objects and properties used by a specific application.Filtered Read Only
Filtered read only replicas contain a filtered set of objects or object classes along with a filtered set of attributes and values for those objects. They receive synchronization updates from master and read/write replicas but don't receive changes directly from clients. Users can read but not modify the contents of the replica, and the contents are limited to the types of eDirectory objects and properties used by a specific application.
