fact

Novell ConsoleOne

Novell Directory Services 6

Novell eDirectory 8.7 for All Platforms

symptom

   Error: "The directory service provider used by ConsoleOne returned an unknown error."

cause

ConsoleOne can not tell the status of a Netware 4.x server running DS 6.x when doing partition operations.  However, the status of a server is not critical unless the status is down.  Therefore, the error is generated but the partition operation continues.

fix

When the error occurs, siimply hit cancel on the partition screen and the partition operation will continue.

This is a defect that has been reported to development.

For additional information on eDirectory 8.7, please see the following solution.  NOVL81742  - eDirectory 8.7 Readme Addendum

note

STD:
1.  Create a partition that contains eDirectory 8.7 and DS 6.x (Netware 4.x) in the ring.
2.  Go into the Partition and Replica View in ConsoleOne
3.  Perform a partion operation (merge, split, add a replica, etc)
4.  See the error
5.  Press OK on the error
6.  Hit Cancel on the Partition and Replica view screen
7.  Hit F5 to refresh and observe that the operation did occur, even though the error occurred.
