For any problem configuring the <strong>eDirectory</strong> SNMP subagent (ndssnmpsa), see the /etc/opt/novell/<br />
<strong>eDirectory</strong>/conf/ndssnmp/ndssnmpsa.log file. To get the debug messages, start ndssnmpsa in<br />
verbose mode as follows:<br />
/opt/novell/<strong>eDirectory</strong>/bin/ndssnmpsa -v 3 -l 3<br />
Where v is verbose mode and l indicates the log mode.<br />

6.6 SNMP Issues After Upgrading from<br />
<strong>eDirectory</strong> 8.7.3 to <strong>eDirectory</strong> <strong>8.8</strong><br />
After upgrading from <strong>eDirectory</strong> 8.7.3 to <strong>eDirectory</strong> <strong>8.8</strong>, you might get the following error:<br />
%%% Attempting to restart the <strong>Novell</strong> <strong>eDirectory</strong> SNMP subagent<br />
(ndssnmpsa)...<br />
Starting NDS SNMP Subagent ...<br />
Initialization failure. Error code : -255<br />
Please Wait...<br />
Done<br />
%%% Unable to start ndssnmpsa... Please try starting it manually...<br />
This error occurs because with <strong>eDirectory</strong> <strong>8.8</strong>, <strong>eDirectory</strong> does not listen on the localhost. Earlier the<br />
ndssnmp.cfg file had SERVER localhost set by default.<br />
To resolve this error, you need to manually edit the ndssnmp.cfg file and include the host name of<br />
the <strong>eDirectory</strong> server, which needs to be monitored.<br />
For example, type the following in the ndssnmp.cfg file:<br />
SERVER test-server<br />
test-server is the hostname on which <strong>eDirectory</strong> is running on the default NCP port (that is 524). If<br />
<strong>eDirectory</strong> is running on a different port (for ex: 1524), the entry should be as follows:<br />
SERVER test-server:1524<br />
