Re: master ldap database is not getting populated

Both master and slave are using openldap-2.2.28.
  Both are also using Berkekely db (db-4.3.28.NC). the only difference is that the master ldap/database backened packages are compiled on itanium platform. The slave ldap is running on an x-86 platform. I don't know if that's the reason why trying to bring up slapd on master after copying the database files to from slave to master failed.   
under openldap-data there are these files.
  __db.001  __db.004   id2entry.bdb     
__db.002  __db.005   log.0000000001   
__db.003  dn2id.bdb  objectClass.bdb  
   
  can anyone please tell me where are the ldap entries stored?. what does __db files and log files used for? 
   
  The way i tried to do a restore from slave to master is by copying all the above files 
  to the openldap-data of the master. 
   
  Thanks

Do a slapcat and a diff of both of them, maybe.

What version is the master running? what database backend?
