Please note that this Bug is private and may not be accessible as it contains confidential Red Hat customer information.

Description of problem:
When attempting to install multiple IdM servers in a replica set, it seems to
be inconsistent about how it creates the replication topology (compared to IPA)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IdM server
2. Install two IdM replica at the same time (easiest with freeipa-ansible)
3. ipa topologysegment-find --all domain

Actual results:
The segments are pairs of left-right segments, rather than bidirectional
segments

Expected results:
All the replication agreements would be bidirectional

That sounds kinda bad. IMHO the installer should detect the problem and either repair it automatically or fail very loudly.

The RC is likely identified (see BZ).
In short when directory starts, topology plugin internal structures (managed hosts, segments...) are initialized (from shared config area) with a delay (20s by default). If an incoming operation like ADD a segment comes in during that period, topology plugin does not merge it.

A tentative fix improved the situation but it is incomplete as it still occurs from time to time.
Need a reproducer.
