2.7 NetIQ eDirectory

The following are the known OES-specific eDirectory issues. For general eDirectory issues, refer to the eDirectory documentation web site.

2.7.1 eDirectory Not Restarting Automatically

After a system crash or power failure, eDirectory services (ndsd) might not automatically start in some situations.

To start eDirectory again:

  1. Delete the /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/ndsd.pid file.

  2. At a terminal prompt, enter /etc/init.d/ndsd start.

Micro Focus has no current plans to change this.

2.7.2 Timing Issues for OES on Xen

eDirectory relies on time being synchronized; connections with eDirectory are lost if the system time is different in the host operating system (SLES 11 SP4 or OES 11 SP3). Ensure that you understand and follow the instructions in “Virtual Machine Clock Settings” in the Virtualization with Xen guide.
