Overview#

Edirectory Replicas are copies (Replicas) of NDS Partitions on different servers.

Rules for Replicas#

There are a few Rules for Edirectory Replicas:

• Each server can store more than 65,000 eDirectory replicas; however, only one replica of the same user-defined partition can exist on the same server.
• Novell recommends that you keep three replicas for fault tolerance of eDirectory (assuming you have three eDirectory servers to store them on).
• A single server can hold replicas of multiple NDS Partitions.
