Environment

Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 Hot Patch 2

Situation

grpwise-ma is not started after reboot

GroupWise domain used by grpwise-ma is on NSS volume


Resolution

This is solved in GroupWise 2012 or later.

For older versions, this issue can be resolved as follows:
 
OPTION 1:

First remove grpwise-ma from auto start:
insserv -r grpwise-ma
  1. open /etc/init.d/grpwise-ma in an editor and change the following in the script:
    # Should-Start:      ndsd namcd novell-nss nss
    # Should-Stop:       ndsd namcd novell-nss nss
  2. add grpwise-ma back to be started automatically:
    insserv grpwise-ma

AND/OR (OPTION 2)

The change that worked also was:

edit /etc/init.d/grpwise-ma and add grpwise as a Required Start.
chkconfig grpwise-ma off
chkconfig grpwise-ma on

AND/OR  (OPTION 3)

Remove the # symbol in front of this line.

MA_OPTIONS="--hauser gwha --hapassword Secret --hapoll 90 --httpmonuser webagent --httpmonpassword password"

in the /etc/init.d/grpwise-ma script.
