Resolution

  1. Stop Teaming: /etc/init.d/teaming stop
  2. Run the Vibe installer.
  3. Select Reconfigure | Advanced.
  4. Proceed through accepting the defaults (current configuration) until the prompt for the path to the keystore.
  5. Provide the actual path to the .keystore file: /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/conf/.keystore
  6. Proceed through the rest of the Reconfigure accepting defaults (current configuration).
  7. Start teaming: /etc/init.d/teaming start

Cause

Vibe has the incorrect path to the .keystore file.
