-631 FFFFFD89 ILLEGAL REPLICA TYPE

Source

eDirectory™

Explanation

The requested operation cannot be performed on a server because the replica type held by the server cannot be used to service the request. Specific eDirectory partition and object operations require varying replica types.

Warning:

Applying all solutions mentioned in this topic could make the problem worse if the actual cause of the problem is not known. Before following a course of action, make sure that you understand the cause of the error and the consequences for the actions suggested.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made to set the bindery context at the server console of a server that does not have a read/write replica of the container that is referenced in the bindery context.

Action

Use NDS® Manager to add a replica that includes the bindery context to that server. Bindery context requires a writable replica (either a read/write or a master replica) in order to be set.

Verify that the server has a writable replica of the partition containing the container to which you are trying to set the bindery context.

Possible Cause

A request to modify an object and/or its attributes was received by a server that does not hold a replica of the specified object's partition. In this instance, the error might indicate a fault in the application issuing the request.

Action

Contact the developer of the application.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made to initiate a partition operation using a server that does not hold the master replica.

Action

Ensure the partition being manipulated has a master replica and the replica rings of each of the servers holding a replica of the partition are consistent.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made to add a replica to a server and the replica type being added was not read/write or read-only. Only read/write and read-only replica types can be added to a server by an eDirectory client. Replica types of subordinate references are automatically placed by eDirectory. In this instance, the error indicates a program fault with the application being used to add the replica.

Action

Contact the developer of the application.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made to modify a replica ring of a partition by a server that does not hold the master replica. Only the server holding the master replica of the partition can modify the partition's replica ring. In this instance, the error indicates a program fault with the application being used to modify the replica.

Action

Contact the developer of the application.
