Troubleshooting guide

80 Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP7 Troubleshooting Guide
-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.
-U Unattended Full Repair option. Instructs DSRepair to run and exit without further
user intervention. This option locks the database and updates server referrals.
You can view the log file after the repair has completed to determine what
changes DSRepair has made.
