Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) Support Pack 1 Linux
Novell Storage Services (NSS) Cluster Resource Volume
Novell Client for Windows 2000/XP/2003 4.91 Support Pack 2 File Access
Novell Storage Services (NSS) Cluster Resource Volume
Novell Client for Windows 2000/XP/2003 4.91 Support Pack 2 File Access
Situation
Access by Users on Windows Work Stations using the Novell Client to
files on NSS volumes on an OES Linux Cluster setup degrades to
unacceptable within 24 hours after the Server bootup?
If Cluster Resource is migrated to a different node, access will
become slower & slower until it is unacceptable within the
first 24 hours?
Resolution
Found that in the /_NETWARE folder at the root of the NSS Volume,
the Trustee_Database.XML file was flagged RENAME INHIBIT &
DELETE INHIBIT. Using Windows Explorer was able to remove the
RI & DI flags and delete the file. After reboot the file
was recreated by the system and everything worked fine after
that.
