There are two Design Masters in the replica set.

Microsoft Replication Manager

There are two Design Masters in the replica set.

Having more than one Design Master in a replica set prevents the members of the set from synchronizing correctly. If this occurs, do the following:

  1. Determine which Design Master is the original and whether it should continue to be the Design Master.

  2. Delete the Design Master that should not exist.

  3. Delete all replicas that had their most recent synchronization with the deleted Design Master or with other replicas that have had their most recent synchronization with the deleted Design Master.

    How?

  4. Create new replicas from the remaining Design Master to replace the replica or replicas you deleted.
