Novell eDirectory 8.8 Troubleshooting Guide - NetIQ

Option
Description
-P Replica and Partition Operations option. Lists the partitions that have replicas
stored in the current server’s eDirectory database files. The Replica options
menu provides options to repair replicas, cancel a partition operation, schedule
synchronization, and designate the local replica as the master replica.
For more information, see “Replica and Partition Operations Option” on
page 65.
-S Global Schema Operations option. This option contains several schema
operations that might be necessary to bring the server's schema into
compliance with the master of the Tree object. However, these operations
should be used only when necessary. The local and unattended repair
operations already verify the schema.

-C Check External Reference Object option. Checks each external reference object
to determine if a replica containing the object can be located. If all servers that
contain a replica of the partition with the object are inaccessible, the object will
not be found. If the object cannot be found, a warning is posted.
-E Report Replica Synchronization option. Reports replica synchronization status
for every partition that has a replica on the current server. This operation reads
the synchronization status attribute from the replica's Tree object on each server
that holds replicas of the partitions. It displays the time of the last successful
synchronization to all servers and any errors that have occurred since the last
synchronization. A warning message is displayed if synchronization has not
completed within 12 hours.
-N Servers Known to This Database option. Lists all servers known to the local
eDirectory database. If your current server contains a replica of the Tree
partition, this server displays a list of all servers in the eDirectory tree. Select
one server to cause the server options to be executed.
-J Repairs a single object on the local server. You will need to provide the Entry ID
(in hexadecimal format) of the object you want to repair. You can use this option
instead of using the Unattended Repair (-U) option to repair one particular object
that is corrupted. The Unattended Repair option can take many hours
depending on the size of database. This option will help you save time.
-T Time Synchronization option. Contacts every server known to the local
eDirectory database and requests information about each server’s time
synchronization status. If this server contains a replica of the Tree partition, then
every server in the eDirectory tree will be polled. The version of eDirectory that
is running on each server is also reported.
-A Append to the existing log file. The information is added to the existing log file.
By default, this option is enabled.
-O Logs the output in a file. By default, this option is enabled.
-F filename Logs the output in the specified file.
-R Repair the Local Database option. Repairs the local eDirectory database. Use
the repair operation to resolve inconsistencies in the local database so that it
can be opened and accessed by eDirectory. This option has suboptions that
facilitate repair operations on the database. It has function modifiers which are
explained in “Function Modifiers Used with the -R Option” on page 64.
