Use the NSS Management utility to re-create the eDirectory objects for NSS pools and volumes. For additional information, see NSS Management Utility (NSSMU) Quick Reference in the OES 2023: NSS File System Administration Guide for Linux.
Re-create the eDirectory object for each NSS pool:
Start NSSMU by entering the following command at the command prompt:
nssmu
Select Pools and press Enter to list all the NSS pools.
Select a pool that needs to be re-created and press F4.
Select Yes when you are prompted to delete and re-create an NDS pool object.
The selected NDS pool object is re-created.
Repeat from Step 1.c for each NDS pool object that needs to be re-created.
Re-create the eDirectory object for each NSS volume:
In NSSMU, select Volumes and press Enter to list all the NSS volumes.
Select a volume and press F4.
Select Yes when you are prompted to delete and re-create the NDS volume object.
The selected volume object is re-created.
Repeat from Step 2.b for each NDS volume object that needs to be re-created.
(Conditional) If the eDirectory object for _ADMIN volume exists, execute the following command:
rcadminfs restart
Use the NCP server console (NCPCON) utility to delete and re-create the eDirectory objects for the NCP volumes. For more information on the NCPCON utility, see NCP Server Console (NCPCON) Utilityin the OES 2023: NCP Server for Linux Administration Guide.
IMPORTANT:If restoration of the eDirectory database is not possible, simply delete the NCP server object.
Delete the eDirectory object of the NCP volume by entering the following command:
ncpcon remove volume SYS
Re-create the eDirectory object of the NCP volume by entering the following command:
ncpcon create volume SYS /usr/novell/sys
