Modifying a Directory's Replica Set
A directory's replica set always contains a master replica; it can also contain other read-only replicas. The values that are stored in the CDS_Replicas attribute that is associated with a directory contain information that describes the directory's replica set, including how many replicas exist, their replica types, and the name of the clearinghouse where each of the replicas is stored. You can use the dcecp directory modify command to overwrite the current values that are stored in the directory's CDS_Replicas attribute and to perform either or both of the following tasks in a single command:
· Designate a new master replica in a directory's replica set.
· Exclude a replica from a directory's replica set.
Note: As part of the directory modify command, CDS initiates an immediate skulk on the directory to distribute modifications to all members of the replica set as soon as possible.
