Situation
- ERROR:root:{'info': 'NDS error: no such entry (-601)', 'matched': 'ou=OESSystemObjects,o=Novell', 'desc': 'No such object'} in the /var/opt/novell/xad/log/sitesandsubnets.log
- DSfW Zone is not located in the OESSystemObjects container
Resolution
Contact Novell Support for an updated sites_dnsupdate.py.
Cause
- The DSfW DNS Zone was moved from the default location of OESSystemObjects
- The DSfW DNS Zone is located out side of the DSfW domain
- The sites_dnsupdate.py uses the DNS Servers Context as the base to search for the search for the Sites records
- Since the zone is in another container, a 601 error is returned
