-666 FFFFFD66 INCOMPATIBLE DS VERSION

Source

eDirectory™

Explanation

The version of eDirectory (ds.nlm) on the target server is incompatible with the version on the source server or is on the restricted version list of 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

If this error occurs during communication with the server, the version on the target server is incompatible with the version on the source server or is on the restricted version list of the source server.

Action

Upgrade the server to a compatible version of eDirectory.

Possible Cause

If this error occurs during an eDirectory background process, the version on the target server is incompatible with the version on the source server or is on the restricted version list of the source server.

Action

Upgrade the server to a compatible version of eDirectory.

Possible Cause

The version of eDirectory (ds.nlm) running on the source server is v5.01 or later, and an attempt was made to add a replica to an eDirectory server running ds.nlm v3.50 or earlier.

Action

Upgrade the server to a compatible version of eDirectory.

Possible Cause

The version of eDirectory (ds.nlm) running on the source server is v5.01 or later, and an attempt was made to assign the master replica to an eDirectory server running ds.nlm v4.40 or earlier when the master is currently held by an eDirectory server is running ds.nlm v4.63 or later.

Action

Upgrade the server to a compatible version of eDirectory.

Possible Cause

The version of eDirectory (ds.nlm) running on the source server is v5.01 or later, and an attempt was made to perform a Move Subtree eDirectory partition operation when one of the servers involved is running ds.nlm v4.62 or earlier.

Action

Upgrade the server to a compatible version of eDirectory.

Possible Cause

The version of eDirectory (ds.nlm) running on the source server is v5.01 or later, and the eDirectory server that holds the master replica of the eDirectory partition that will become the new parent partition reports that one of the servers involved is running ds.nlm v4.62 or earlier.

Action

Upgrade the server to a compatible version of eDirectory.

Possible Cause

This error could occur if

- You are performing operations requiring the same schema and the servers involved have dissimilar schema.

For example, when a partition operation is requested, NDS® Manager returns this error if the server with the master replica is running NetWare® 5 (or later versions) while other servers in the replica list are running NetWare 4.0x. Servers holding subordinate reference replicas with a dissimilar schema also generate this error.

Important:

The version of eDirectory™ that shipped with NetWare 4.11 will not synchronize with eDirectory versions before v4.89.

- eDirectory synchronization has been restricted using the Set eDirectory Synchronization Restrictions parameter at the server.
- DSREPAIR for NetWare 4.1 (or later versions) is running and a remote to local ID check is being done.

Action

If the server holding the master replica is a NetWare 4.1 (or later version) server, most partition operations that involve updating replicas on NetWare 4.0x servers cannot be completed.

To be able to complete the partition operations, upgrade the NetWare 4.0x servers in the replica list to NetWare 4.1 (or later versions).

Note:

If the master replica is on a NetWare 4.02 server, you will not have this problem.

If this error is seen in DSREPAIR during a remote to local ID check, perform the SET DSTRACE=!V command on the NetWare 4.1 (or later version) server. This resets a list that is maintained for restricting use of certain versions of eDirectory.

Make sure the SET eDirectory Synchronization Restrictions parameter has been used as explained in Utilities Reference, in SET under eDirectory Parameters.
