Hello!
I have an OD Master that is on 10.6.8 and I am trying to create a replica of a new Mini Server that is on Lion server.
Through the gui it errors out and when trying to bind via the command line I get this error….
2012-02-09 22:26:22 +0000 Error: checkmaster failed: The server does not support the command checkMaster
2012-02-09 22:26:22 +0000 Error: checkmaster failed: The server does not support the command checkMaster (error = 77)
2012-02-09 22:26:22 +0000 Not creating replica due to preflight failure.
2012-02-09 22:26:22 +0000 Not creating replica due to preflight failure. (error = 77)I am assuming that Lion requires that check to complete before it replicates. Is there anyway around that so that I don’t have to upgrade our OD Master yet?
Thanks!!

February 15, 2012 at 11:09 pm #381642aaronwyattParticipantI had this same issue and couldn’t find a way around it. I ended up demoting my OD master (server1) to stand alone, clients then failed over to the replica (server2). I upgraded server1 to 10.7 got everything up and running, and did some dancing around– promoting server2 to master, upgrading server2 to Lion, then turing server1 into a replica, then server2 demoted to stand alone, then server1 to master again, and finally server2 to replica again. And I still had to rebind most if not all clients.
