Additional Server can't find primary?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Greetings,

I have a Domino 6.5.2 server that is the primary server for my domino domain.

I added a second 6.5.2 server as an additional server, and using the “Utility Server” install option, as all I need it for is sametime. I also configured it as a “configuration directory” so it would replicate the NAB from the primary.

On start up, the additional server complains that it can’t find the primary to replicate with, and that it’s not a known tcp/ip host.

DNS is correctly configured, the network works, and I specified the FQHN of both machines during setup.

Any ideas?

John,

From the server console, are you able to trace servername or trace ip address? How about from the primary server, are you able to trace the additional server by name or ip address??

Cheers

Yup, both are OK.

Strangely enough, if I configure it not as a configuration directory, but in the standard way, it will replicate the NAB from the primary, and, more or less, work. LDAP fails trying to replicate the schema from the primary, but sametime works OK, and instant messaging works for (almost) everyone. Some users can’t login to IM (password error), but I think that may be a replication issue, and I’m going to try making connection documents and replication schedules on both servers…

Have you added your additional server into your current Domoino Domain?.

Look under configeration, server documents in the Admin client and both servers should be under the one Domain, if not then click “add server” to add

Also go into the server document for the new server, go into ports tab, Notes Network ports,

Change the following to suit

PORT: PROTOCOL: NOTES NETWORK:

TCPIP TCP YOUR_NOTES_DOMAIN

NETWORK ADDRESS: ENABLED:

IP or DNS NAME ENABLED:

This might work either.

Thanks for the response.

It’s in there, under All Server Documents. (Created when I registered the server).

It also added it (the additional server) to the appropriate groups…

The listed DNS name in that document is correct as well.

Hi,Try to add a connection documnet from the server using the configuration directory to the one having the primary directory.

Hope this will work.

Regards.
