Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.7 for All Platforms

Situation

Upgraded the server to eDirectory 8.7
When a R/W replica is removed, Subordinate references do not disappear.

Resolution

These subref partitions will delete on their own after two skulk cycles. The additional delay in removing these causes no problems at all. You can speed up this process by forcing a heatbeat and then the purger process. This can be perfomed using the trace function in iMonitor for all platforms or the set dstrace command on NetWare (set dstrace=on set dstrace=+s set dstrace=*h set dstrace=*f)

Additional Information

We now use different code when removing a child subordinate reference partition. In order to verify partitioning completion, maintain tree walking and consistancy we leave the subordinate reference partition for 2 synchronization cycles in order to verify the ring of the master.
