upgrade of pa agent error

[jeschaff]

I encountered this error on a couple of my servers. However the install worked fine on my preprod environment as well as 10 out of 12 production servers. On the two servers that encountered the error I was upgrading the 32 bit PA from 2.0.2-46 to 2.0.2-55. After this failed I also attempted to uninstall all of the associated PA RPMs and start fresh. The result was that I encountered the exact same behavior.

Other possible relevant information:
OS: Suse 10 sp1 (64 bit)
eDir: 8.8 SP2 on server and 8.8 SP3 on the other
IDM: IDM 3.51

Never mind... Looks like I solved my own problem. The issue had to do with the nds.conf file. On one of the 2 offending servers there were multiple entries/references to "n4u.nds.preferred-server=<serverName>" Correcting this alone did not resolve my symptoms. So I then found that I had to add the following line to the nds.conf file: "n4u.server.interfaces=serverIP@524"

After doing this I was able to run ./pinstall witout issue. On my second offending server I found that I simply had to add the interfaces line mentioned above to it's nds.conf file.

Thanks,
