A.11 Secondary Administration Console Installation Fails

The secondary Administration Console installation fails with a message “'Verifying time synchronization”. If you are installing the secondary Admin Console, ensure that time is in sync with the primary Admin console, prior to installation.

If the time is in sync and the secondary Administration Console installation fails or takes a long time, see the eDirectory install logs under /tmp/novell_access_manager. The log file name will be similar to install_edir_xxxxxx. If at the end of the log you see an entry “Verifying time synchronization” multiple times, you should repair the eDirectory. To repair the eDirectory:

  1. Log in to the primary Administration Console and execute the ndsrepair -T command.

    The replica servers and their time sync status is displayed.

  2. Execute the ndsrepair -N command and select the server which has the problem.

  3. Log in to the secondary Administration Console and you can see that the installation has proceeded. You need not to re-run the installer.
