Environment

eDirectory 9.1.1
OES 2018 SP1

Situation

Upgraded to OES 2018 SP1. The OES Configuration Wizard fails on the eDirectory step with the following error message:
Shutting down server for the DIB upgrade...
Stopping the service 'ndsd'... Done.
ERROR: Unable to proceed with the DIB upgrade using "/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin//ndsdibupg". No such file or directory.
ERROR: /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndsconfig return value = 14.


Resolution

Locate the following file in the DIB directory:

/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/upgradeDIB

Move or delete this file. It is safe to delete, and will not result in any data loss. Rerun the OES Configuration Wizard (or "yast2 channel-upgrade-oes" for Wagon upgrades). The eDirectory upgrade should complete successfully.
