PLANNING
The first server set up in a domain is always set up with a primary HCL Domino® Directory. When you set up an additional server in the domain, you choose whether to set up the replica of the Domino Directory on the server as a Configuration Directory or as a primary Domino Directory. The default selection is a primary Domino Directory.
About this task
After server setup, you can change the directory type. After you change directory type, the Administration Process generates a Store Directory Type in Server Record request to change the value of the Directory Type field on the Basics tab of the Server document.
