Situation
Does eDirectory for Linux/Solaris have a -NDB startup option?
Resolution
With NetWare, there is an option to bring the server up with
out actually opening the database. This is done by loading the
server with SERVER -NDB. On the Linux/Solaris platform, there is
currently no switch to that will do this. However, it may be
possible to look at the NDS.CONF file and modify the path to the
NDS database files and change it to a path where there are no NDS
files.
Starting with eDirectory 8.7.3.9 FTF3 and 8.8 SP2 it is
possible to use the -ndb on Linux/Solaris.
Linux/Solaris: /etc/init.d/ndsd start -ndb
Additional Information
NOTE: If running eDirectory on Linux systemd distributions such as SLES 12 or RHEL 7, refer to TID 7018431 for additional information.
We don't have -ndb for eDirectory 8.8.1 for Linux/Solaris
yet.
