Global Schema Operations
You can use the ndsrepair -S ([-Ad] advanced switch) option to display a list showing all the schema
operations that you can perform. The following table shows the available options.
Option
Request Schema From Master Server
Reset Local Schema
Post NetWare 5 Schema Update
Description
Requests the master replica of the root of the tree to
synchronize its schema to this server. Any changes to the
schema will be propagated to this server from the master
replica of the Tree object for the next 24 hours. If all
servers request the schema from the master replica,
network traffic can increase.
Invokes a schema reset that clears the time stamps on
the local schema and requests an inbound schema
synchronization. This option is unavailable if executed
from the master replica of the Tree partition. This is to
ensure that all servers in the tree are not reset at the
same time.
Extends and modifies the schema for compatibility with
post-NetWare 5 DS changes. This option requires that
the server where ndsrepair is run contains a replica of the
Tree partition, and that the state of the replica is On.
