NAME

       ipa-replica-prepare - Create an IPA replica file

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-replica-prepare [OPTION]... hostname

DESCRIPTION

       Generates a replica file that may be used with ipa-replica-install to create a replica of an IPA server.

       A replica can only be created on an IPA server installed with ipa-server-install (the first server).

       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 --ip-address 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.

       A replica should only be installed on the same or higher version of IPA on the remote system.
