Preventing the use of a Domino Directory replica as a remote primary

You can prevent servers with configuration directories from using a specific replica of the HCL Domino® Directory as a remote primary.

About this task

You can prevent a replica from being used only when servers with configuration directories use the default logic, and not directory assistance, to locate a remote primary Domino Directory. You might prevent the use of a specific replica to avoid the use of a server that has limited capacity.

Procedure

1. From the Domino Administrator, select the server that stores the primary Domino Directory.

2. Select the Configuration tab, and select Server -> Current Server Document.

3. Click Edit Server.

4. On the Basics tab, in the Directory Information section for the directory type, deselect Allow this directory to be used as a remote primary directory for other servers.

5. Click Save & Close.
