In the ndsconfig upgrade -c -a ' ' -j –config-file /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/ there is no admin listed after the -a. 
To resolve this edit the /etc/sysconfig/novell/oes-ldap file.
Most likely the XAD_TREE_ADMIN_CONTEXT is blank, but is is possible to have any of the three variables listed below with out a value.

CONFIG_LDAP_TREE_NAME="DSFW-TREE"
CONFIG_LDAP_ADMIN_CONTEXT="cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=novell,dc=com"
XAD_TREE_ADMIN_CONTEXT="cn=admin,o=novell"

If any of the three values are blank, populated it with the correct value for your tree.
Notice CONFIG_LDAP_ADMIN_CONTEXT="cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=novell,dc=com"
This is correct even though the administrator is located in  cn=Administrator,cn=Users,o=novell
