Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.8 for NetWare 6.5
Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 8
Novell NetWare 6.5
Novell Open Enterprise Server (NetWare based)
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2)

Situation

ERROR: "Unable to find a server hosting a R/W replica of [Root]

The "Schema update" task in Deployment Manager from the NetWare 6.5sp8 (OES2 SP1) overlay CD reports: "Unable to find a server hosting a R/W replica of [Root]", when the server hosting the [Root] replicas is running eDirectory 8.8 or eDirectory 8.8.1.

eDirectory 8.8.2 and above are not affected.

Resolution

Upgrading the servers hosting the [Root] replicas to eDirectory 8.8.2 or later resolves the issue.
The issue has been reported to engineering, however running the latest version of eDirectory 8.8 is suggested before performing the operation.

Status
