On the Pools page the Update eDirectory option, adds or updates the NetIQ eDirectory pool object at the same context level as the server. NSS searches for the object. If the pool object exists, NSS prompts you with two options: Delete and replace the existing object, or Retain the existing object. If the pool object does not exist, NSS adds the object to the same context level where the server exists.
NOTE:Updating eDirectory pool object is a recovery process it is required only when the pool object is lost, corrupted, or deleted.
