2.1.1 Installation Not Successful
• Check for the following error message in the /var/adm/messages directory:
Unable to bind to SLP Multicast Address. Multicast route not added?
This message is displayed if the Linux or Solaris machine is not configured for a multicast
route address.
Add the multicast route address and restart the slpuasa daemon.
• If the -632: Error description System failure error message appears during
installation, exit from the installation process.
Set the n4u.base.slp.max-wait parameter to a larger value, such as 50, in the /etc/opt/novell/
eDirectory/conf/nds.conf file, then restart the installation process.
• During installation, if the Tree Name Not Found error message is displayed, do the
following:
1 Check whether multicast routing is enabled on the Solaris host that you are installing the
product on.
2 Specify the IP address of the master server of the Tree partition.
