This section contains the following information:
You can use OpenText Identity Console to view which partitions are allocated to a server. You might want to view the partitions stored on a server if you are planning to remove a Server object from the directory tree. In this case, you can view the replicas you need to remove before removing the object.
On the OpenText Identity Console home page, click the Partition Management tile.
Select the name and context of a Server object.
On the Partitions page view the partitions.
This operation lets you identify
Which servers the partition’s replicas reside on
Which server hosts the master replica of the partition
Which servers have read/write, read-only, and subordinate reference replicas of the partition
The state of each of the partition’s replicas
To view a partition's replicas:
On the OpenText Identity Console home page, click the Partition Management tile.
On the Partitions page > Select the partition.
View the information on Replica View page.
The most significant reason to view information about a partition is to see its synchronization information (last successful synchronization and last attempted synchronization).
On the OpenText Identity Console home page, click the Partition Management tile.
On the Partitions page > Select the partition.
On the Replica View page > select the server.
The Replica information page appears.
You can view the partition hierarchy in OpenText Identity Console. On the home page click Tree View tile to view which partitions are parent, and which are child partitions.
The most significant reason to view information about a replica is to see its state. An OpenText eDirectory replica can be in various states depending on the partition or replication operations it is undergoing. The following table describes the replica states that you might see in OpenText Identity Console.
