You must provide the fully\-qualified hostname of the machine you want to install the replica on and a host\-specific replica_file will be created. It is host\-specific because SSL server certificates are generated as part of the process and they are specific to a particular hostname. If IPA manages the DNS for your domain, you should either use the \fB\-\-ip\-address\fR option or add the forward and reverse records manually using IPA plugins. Once the file has been created it will be named replica\-hostname. This file can then be moved across the network to the target machine and a new IPA replica setup by running ipa\-replica\-install replica\-hostname. - +.SS "Limitations" A replica should only be installed on the same or higher version of IPA on the remote system. + +A replica with PKI can only be installed from a replica file prepared on a master with PKI. .SH "OPTIONS" .TP \fB\-\-dirsrv\-cert\-file\fR=\fIFILE\fR |
