-632 FFFFFD88 SYSTEM FAILURE

Source

eDirectory™

Explanation

An unexpected error occurred on the source server.

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

Problems occurred with the local eDirectory database.

Action

Repair the local database using DSREPAIR. Verify that all remote server ID numbers are valid. To do this, run the Verify Remote Server IDs option from the Partition Continuity view in NDS® Manager (on the client) or DSREPAIR (on the server).

Possible Cause

Unexpected data was returned from the local eDirectory database.

Action

Repair the local database using DSREPAIR.

Possible Cause

Memory corruption occurred on the server.

Action

Restart the server. If the problem persists, check the RAM on the server. If needed, increase the memory available to the server.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made during the Replica Synchronization background process to advance a replica whose replica state is Transition On to a replica state of On. However, the number of child partitions on the source server differs from the number of child partitions on a server in the replica ring. If this error occurs while using DSTRACE on the source server with the Synchronization or Partition Operation flags set, the following message will display:

WARNING! Partition boundaries are different. local LocalChildPartitionCount, remote RemoteChildPartitionCount

Action

Troubleshoot the errors seen on each of the child partitions.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made to abort a Merge Partition operation. An error occurred while attempting to read the partition control values from the server holding the master replica of the parent partition.

Action

Contact a Novell support provider.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made to change the eDirectory tree name to a name longer than 128 characters.

Action

Contact a Novell support provider.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made to perform a Move Subtree partition operation on an object that is not a partition root object on the receiving server. Occurrences of errors in this instance can indicate discrepancies between partition boundaries.

Action

See Troubleshooting Partition Boundary Issues.

Possible Cause

An attempt was made to add an object to the source server's remote ID list. However, the object has a base class other than NCP* server. If this error occurs while you are using DSTRACE on the target server, the following message will be displayed:

WARNING! Attempt to add (ObjectEntryID) (ObjectName) with base class (BaseClass) to server list.

Action

Contact a Novell* support provider.

Possible Cause

An internal error occurred in eDirectory (ds.nlm).

Action

Contact a Novell support provider.

Possible Cause

One or more of the following eDirectory errors have occurred that generate this error.

- -641 FFFFFD7F ERR_INVALID_REQUEST
- -649 FFFFFD77 ERR_INSUFFICIENT BUFFER

Action

See the information documented for these errors -641 or -649.

Possible Cause

The cause cannot be determined.

Action

Additional information regarding the conditions leading to this error can be obtained using DSTRACE on the source server with the following flags set:

- Synchronization
- Miscellaneous
- Collisions
- Partition Operations
- Schema Synchronization
- Backlink
