GW 7.0.3 HP4 and SLES 10 SP3

datakey — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:04:53 GMT

I'm about to update a SLES 10 SP2, OES 2 SP1b system to SLES 10 SP3 and OES2 SP2. The server is running GW7.0.3 HP4. Though I will be upgrading to GW8 soon, I do not have time to do all upgrades at once.

Will I have trouble running Gw7 on this updated server?

Please advise.
Thanks,

OES 2 SP2 Botched..Help!

ryamry — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:32:20 GMT

I tried upgrading one of our servers to OES2 SP2. I followed the instructions in the documentation and tried to upgrade it via rug. Everything was fine until I tried to update it with the command "rug up -t patch -g recommended && rug ping -a". It came back with a bunch of errors that the source couldnt be found and such (I cant remember exactly, but it looked like dependency errors). I didnt want to mess things up so I decided to stop there and run the offline installation. Things were fine with that, until the eDirectory upgrade. The problem that we ran into is that this server is a VM on VMWare and has the VMXNet3 NIC on it. Problem is that SLES doesnt have the NIC driver for it and the eDirectory installation failed. But, the rest of the SLES10 SP3 and OES2 SP2 upgrades went through...

I booted the system back up and changed the NIC driver to the FLEXIBLE one so that it would pick up during the upgrade. I did that then ran through the offline upgrade process again. Of course, everything was already upgraded and when it came time to do the eDirectory part it goes through like it would when you are adding a new server to the tree. So I stopped there.

It seems to server is up and running fine, but Id like to complete the OES2SP2 upgrade process so its fully up to date.

When I try to run the "rug up -t patch -g recommended && rug ping -a" command again, it errors out saying:

DSN login error 669

gprater — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:10:51 GMT

Not sure when it started before or after SESE sp3 and OES2 sp2 the DNS server will not stay running. Log shows login error 669.

I have tried removing the config files on the server and restart and deleted the server in iMnager and recreating it but still get the error.

Does any one know where the information is stored or how to fix this?

LPR Communication Failed

cadsh — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:31:53 GMT

Hi,
6 out of my 7 network printers have this problem for the past 2 months.

Printer Agent Status Details: LPR Communication Failed.

Associated Message from Printer: Background test of printer connection failed, error: 36.

The only way to print after the message is to manually turn off and on the printers. I can ping all of them during the error.
I also manually installed one printer TCP/IP with the same result: "user intervention required".

After restarting the printers, user can print for 1 or 2 hours.
The error happen when someone send a print job.

What should I look for?
Thanks for your help.

recovering from BM 3.8 SP5 server crash

robkoon81 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:43:20 GMT

Our our BM 3.8 SP5 server crashed last week that was running NW 6.5 SP6 OS. Our backup failed to restore to a new hardrive, so we just did a fresh install and pulled tree info from our OES Linux server. I think we are ready to install Border Manager again but need to ask advice about correct procedure.
Should I install BM 3.8 SP5 first, then upgrade to 3.9 SP2 or just go direct to BM 3.9 SP2? I have the old config files I can copy back to their previous directories and assume edir info is still there in regards to filters, etc.

Thanks,
Rob

Basic Interface Question

dholub — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:58:58 GMT

I'm trying to access Webaccess with Nokia phone. I can get to page to insert name and password, but cannot seem to send it (no button to click). Is there switches that can be put into the bookmark to force basic interface. Used to be in earlier versions I believe. I'm thinking I am not accessing basic interface.

IP address change

kalya — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:30:57 GMT

Hi All,

We are planning to move the servers. Once servers are moved we need to change the ip address. we have 3 server. One has master replica and other 2 are read-write replica. We are moving one of the read-write replica server. We have to change ip of this server. All the 3 servers are File servers. nothing else is installed.

All the servers are Netware 6.5 SP 7.

Could you let me know what changes I have to make after IP change. Do I have to make any change in master replica also. Even we are moving Master server week after this move. Please let me know how to go about it. As I am doing this for the first time

I have created a document for the same.

STEPS TO CHANGE THE IP ADDRESS
1. Inecfg
Change the IP address and DNS entry.
Change the gate way

2. Change the enteries in host file and hostname file
Sys\etc\host
Sys\etc\hostname

3. Edit autoexec.ncf
Bindings/Mask
Default route

4. Changes in Apache
Sys\adminsrv\conf
Change all the ip to reflect the new ip
4 places where the ip address needs to be changed

5. No changes for ifolder and web access.

6. LDAP/SSL
No change for LDAP
SSL certificates needs to be deleted (in our case we need to delete SSL CERTIFICATE IP as we changed only the ip. SSL CertificateDNS does not require any changes.
Once the SSL is deleted run PKIDIAG.NLM option 4 and 0

7. Set dstace=*L
Execute a repair server address from DSrepair
Dsrepair �rn

8. Find the replica ring holders | Advanced options menu | Replica and partition operations | note the partitions and gointo each replica ring. Note the server names of all ring members.

9. Now repair network address for each server in the ring. dsrepair | adv. option | Servers known to this database | Enter on the server name | Repair selected server's network address | do this for each replica ring holder; for each Partition.

For eGuide you need to manually change the directories. properties and the new_data_source_dir_scheme.xml. These 2 files are listed under /SYS/tomcat/4/webapps/eGuide/WEB-INF/properties
10. No changes to SLP scope as there is no SLP scope created in Master replica for Hyderlit2
11. SLP:If you are running a SLP DA you can remove objects from the SLP Scope that reference services on the server to ensure this happens instantly.

Once this is done, execute a 'SET SLP RESET = ON' on the DA(s).
12. Server SET parameters (also accessible via MONITOR.NLM):
set SLP include, exclude addresses if you have changed them from default settings.
set NCP include, exclude addresses if you have changed them from default settings.

2ND Method

Login to the NetWare Remote Manager (NRM) by going to https://IPorDNS:8009
Under the MANAGE SERVER section, click on CONFIGURE TCPIP | START TCPIP CONFIGURATION | TCP/IP TO INTERFACE BINDINGS.
Select the appropriate interface if there is more than one in the list.
Once in the interface, change the IP address and then click on SAVE.
** NOTE ** You may receive an error saying that the address is in use for the Portal. What it is saying is that you are currently using this address with the NetWare Remote Manager and if you reinitialize your system you will loose your connection. Do NOT reinitialize your system yet.
Click BACK and EXIT. You will then receive this message. Just click OK, we will reset the server in a minute.
Now go back to NRM and select IP ADDRESS MANAGEMENT under the MANAGE SERVER section. You will notice that there certain services that are specifically configured for the old IP address and they now show an INVALID in red. You will need to select the application link on the left hand side and change it to the new IP address. An example is shown in the next step.
Here we will click on the ApacheAdmin section and select the new IP address from the drop down list. Click APPLY to continue.
Perform this same IP address for any application in the list that still show the old IP address. ** NOTE ** After you change the first application, the other applications may not show invalid, however the will still show the old IP address. This is because we have not yet reinitialized the system. Don?t worry about this and just change the IP address in the other sections. One this is done, go to the DOWN/RESTART section under MANAGE SERVER and click on the RESET button to perform a RESET SERVER.
Note: Once this has been completed, it would be wise to perform a Limber process on the server. Do this by entering the following commands at the console prompt:
SET DSTRACE=ON
SET DSTRACE=NODEBUG
SET DSTRACE=+LIMBER
SET DSTRACE=*L
You should see and "End connectivity check, all OK" message on the Directory Services screen.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Timestamping and Syncing specific objects using wget

plambrechtsen — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:18:21 GMT

I figured out quite a nifty way to timestamp individual objects and then resync them to all replicas instead of needing to run a dsrepair -ot to timestamp. We can't run any repairs as our DIB has 20 million records in a single partition.

First you need to login to iMontor and save the session cookies

wget --no-check-certificate --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --post-data="usr=**EDIRUSERID**&pwd=**EDIRPWD**" https://**SERVERIP**:8030/_LOGIN_SERVER_RSP_

This should all be on one line, and you replace the **EDIRUSERID** and **EDIRPWD** with your admin username and password. And the **SERVERIP** with the IP address.

IE

wget --no-check-certificate --save-cookies=cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --post-data="usr=admin.admin&pwd=password" https://192.168.1.1:8030/_LOGIN_SERVER_RSP_

Then you can do a timestamp of a single object ID

wget --no-check-certificate --load-cookies=cookies.txt "https://**SERVERIP**:8030/nds/operation/data?action=timestampobj&dn=/ID%27=xxxxxxxx"

And you put in xxxxxxxx the Object ID.

If you change the "timestampobj" action with "sendobj" that will send the object to all other replicas.

IE

wget --no-check-certificate --load-cookies=cookies.txt "https://**SERVERIP**:8030/nds/operation/data?action=timestampobj&dn=/ID%27=00008000"

or

wget --no-check-certificate --load-cookies=cookies.txt "https://**SERVERIP**:8030/nds/operation/data?action=sendobj&dn=/ID%27=00008000"

If you plan to use it in a dos batch file you need to add two %% signs between the ID and the 27

Apply network restrictions to LDAP Proxy user

gmarsh — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:08:20 GMT

(re-post from OES Client forum)

Implemented LDAP contextless login using an LDAP Proxy user, and that is working fine.

Since the LDAP Proxy user has null password, I wish to lock it down in some way since anyone who knows or guesses the username can login to the directory (not a huge concern but still, want to be thorough).

As far as I can tell from the docs, the only thing I can really do is impose network address restrictions on it ("You can limit the locations that the user can log in from by setting address restrictions for the Proxy User object.")

However, exactly what addr restrictions can / should I impose (such as are just the server IPs of the LDAP servers enough?) and especially, will imposing the address restriction have impact on any other services? Using OES2SP1-Linux and also using NSS clustering if it matters.

Thanks
GM
