Only use the restart-admin command on the active node in a cluster-enabled environment (#4862968)
Cannot remove patch ID 115614-08 (Directory Server patch) from all nodes on a cluster (#5035139)
The
patchrm
command for patch ID 115614-08 on a cluster will only work correctly when removing
the patch from the first node. On attempting to remove the patch from the second and subsequent
nodes, the following error message is displayed:
The backout of data cannot occur because the sync-directory binary is missing. Please
contact your Sun support
Workaround
Once you have successfully removed the patch from the first node in your cluster, and if you have
received the above error message, create a symbolic link in ServerRoot
/shared/bin
to point to the
sync-directory binary as follows:
ln -s /usr/ds/v5.2/sbin/sync-directory
ServerRoot
/shared/bin
Then reapply the procedure to remove the patch.
Directory Server installation is partial and will not remove all installed files (#4845960)
The slapd process does not restart after adding patch ID 115614-10 on a cluster enabled environment
(#5042440)
Workaround
1.
Stop the
slapd
process and the Administration Server prior to applying patches on cluster
2.
Patch all nodes in the cluster irrespective of whether
ns-slapd
fails to start or not
3.
When all nodes are patched start the
slapd
process
4.
Run the
directoryserver sync-cds
command for the Administration Server and
slapd
When migrating from 4.x to 5.x some plug-ins may not be migrated (#4942616)
Workaround
Edit the 4.x
slapd.ldbm.conf
configuration file and insert quotation marks around the plug-in path
for the plug-in to be migrated. For example the plug-in post-operation on referential integrity
post-operation which appears as
/mydirectory/ds416/lib/referint-plugin.so<.....>
needs to
be edited to
“/mydirectory/ds416/lib/referint-plugin.so”<.....>
