Setting up the Replication Agreements

6.Set when the consumer is initialized. Initializing a consumer manually copies all data over from the supplier to the consumer. The default is to create an initialization file (an LDIF of all supplier data) so that the consumer can be initialized later. It is also possible to initialize the consumer as soon as the replication agreement is completed or not at all. For information on initializing consumers, see Section 10, “Initializing Consumers”. For multi-master replication, consider the following:

Ensure one supplier has the complete set of data to replicate to the other suppliers. Use this one supplier to initialize the replica on all other suppliers in the multi-master replication set.

Initialize the replicas on the consumer servers from any of the multi-master suppliers.

Do not try to reinitialize the servers when the replication agreements are set up. For example, do not initialize server1 from server2 if server2 has already been initialized from server1. In this case, select Do not initialize consumer.
