Environment
Novell eDirectory 8.8 for All Platforms
Situation
With multiple instances installed, eDirectory upgrade reports "failed dib upgrade"
Resolution
Before the upgrade starts, all the instances have to be stopped. Therefore, the health check will always report a time sync error. If this is the only error in the health check file, this warning can be ignored. The file in question is /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/log/ndscheck.log. Here's an example of this timesync error:
