Cluster management

From IdeaJam : Link

There is currently no way, without programming something, to verify that the quota settings of cluster replicas are the same. If we can identify where cluster replicas have differant quota's, either with cluster analysis or an Admin view, then we could correct inconsistancies. Alternatively, if there was a way to designate a primary server and "push" the cluster settings to all cluster replicas, that would be convenient.


There is a lot of manual hacks when you have this kind of problems. (Replication history, Show stat, add cluster replicator task, etc)
From Notes.net : Link

But first, you MUST know that you have a problem.
To reslove this issue, i have made an application to do this for you. The db is fully dynamic, no hard-coded cluster name, you have a configuration document.

From a scan document, you must select the cluster that you want to scan. You can run it in a manual mode or a schedule one (If you have trusted servers)



After the agent is run, you have multiples views that will identify for you the dbs that are not in sync, over quota, replica id differents, etc.




Here's an example of a log document:


In this example, you can see that there is a difference, in the trash folder, between the 2 replicas,

You can then , via a button, clear the replication history and initiate a replication between those replicas.

If the problems was a difference in your quota, you have another option that allows you to modify the quota and warning on every replicas of your mail files.
