16.1 <strong>Novell</strong> Import Convert Export Utility<br />

If an LDAP server is refreshed or unloaded, while a <strong>Novell</strong> Import Conversion Export operation is<br />

running, the LBURP operation is timed out message is displayed on the <strong>Novell</strong> Import<br />

Conversion Export screen. The server recovers later, when the LBURP operation times out.<br />

16.2 ndsmerge Utility<br />

The PKI servers are not active after a merge operation. They must be restarted using the npki -l<br />

command.<br />

Merge operations might not be successful on different versions of the product. If your server is<br />

running an older version of NDS or <strong>eDirectory</strong>, update to the latest version of <strong>eDirectory</strong>, then<br />

continue the merge operations.<br />

The merging of two trees will not succeed if containers with similar names subordinate to a tree are<br />

present in both the source and target trees. Rename one of the containers, then continue with the<br />

merge operation.<br />

During the graft operation, error message -611 Illegal Containment might appear. Modify the<br />

schema by running ndsrepair(1). Then run ndsrepair -S and select Optional Schema Enhancements.<br />

16.3 ndstrace Utility<br />

When you turn on the ndstrace (1) screen, an error message might display indicating that a primary<br />

object is invalid for the reference link. You can ignore this message if <strong>eDirectory</strong> is functioning<br />

correctly.<br />

16.4 ndsbackup Utility<br />

While backing up <strong>eDirectory</strong>, NDS Error: Connect to NDS server failed might display. This<br />

might be caused by <strong>eDirectory</strong> listening on a port other than the default port 524. At the command<br />

line, enter the port number that <strong>eDirectory</strong> was configured on. For example, if <strong>eDirectory</strong> is<br />

configured on port number 1524, enter the following:<br />

ndsbackup sR 164.99.14<strong>8.8</strong>2:1524<br />
