Environment
Novell Cluster Services 1.8.4
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 3
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 3
Situation
When monitoring edirectory in a cluster monitor script the following two commands do not produce consistent and quick results, thus causing potential failure of the monitor script while edirectory is working.
exit_on_error rcndsd status
exit_on_error ndsstat
exit_on_error rcndsd status
exit_on_error ndsstat
Resolution
In a cluster monitor script it is better to ensure that ndsd process is working by using.
exit_on_error pidof ndsd
exit_on_error pidof ndsd
Additional Information
Additional functionality was added in OES11 SP2. The newer method monitors ndsd at the cluster level instead of the resource level. To setup monitoring on OES11 SP2, refer to the following document:
