Sample Partitions, Severs, and Replicas
For each site, the objects that represent local resources are kept locally. Synchronization traffic
among servers also happens locally over the LAN, rather than over the slow, unreliable WAN link.
eDirectory traffic is generated over the WAN link, however, when a user or administrator accesses
objects at a different site.
1.6 Replicas
A replica is a copy or an instance of a user-defined partition that is distributed to an eDirectory
server. If you have more than one eDirectory server on your network, you can keep multiple replicas
(copies) of the directory. That way, if one server or a network link to it fails, users can still log in and
use the remaining network resources (see
Figure 1-19 on page 55
).
