domino 5 question from a non-domino admin

[Chapter11]

Running Domino 5 on Windows 2000 Server.

Our environment has multiple servers, one is the "primary" email server, another is the fallback. Theoretically, all notes databases on the primary server are supposed to have replicas on the fallback, but we are finding a few cases where that is not true.

Is there a method of some sort that can be used to determine which databases on the primary do *not* have replicas elsewhere? My goal is to have a script of some sort that at least reports such issues, because there are too many databases on the primary server for anyone to audit manually on a regular basis.

Is the fallback server in a cluster with the primary?

I believe they are clustered with Domino (not with windows).

 

[JasonU]

With in notes there is a cluster command that can be run on the console to force replicate the 'cluster machines' so that the information is up to date on all of them.

is that what you are looking for?

I'm not sure. The problem we're having is that we've found a couple of cases where an email database is being created on the primary, but it's not having a replica being created on the fallback, so it's "working as designed", we just need to correct the design.

check on your workstation to see if domino administrator client has been installed, then open the help database that comes with it (hepl\help65_admin.nsf.

once in the db, look under the cluster section, there are a few useful pages of how the cluster replication works and what types of triggers that can be set and so on.

i hope this helps
