15.4 How to create a Management Context?

A management context can support a maximum of two replica sites. On creating a replica site, the selected O or OU container becomes the management context.

  1. Click Create Replica Site.

  2. A wizard is displayed:

    1. Management context: Browse and select a container, then click Next.

      NOTE:The selected container is designated as the management context for this replica.

    2. Servers: Browse and select the server on which the DFS Replica service should be hosted. You can select a maximum of two servers.

    3. DFS replica location: Select the default path (/var/opt/novell/dfs), or alternatively, select an NSS volume or a folder within the volume to store the DFS Replica (VLDB) database on the replica site. Click Next.

      The name of the DFS Replica file itself cannot be specified or modified; it is always vldb.dat.

    4. Summary: Review the summary of the created replica site and click Finish.

    A new replica site is created in the selected management context.
