Containment Requirements for Grafting
To graft a source tree into a target tree container requires that the target tree container be prepared to
accept the source tree. The target tree container must be able to contain an object of the class
domain. If there is a problem with containment, error
-611 Illegal Containment
will occur
during the graft operation.
Use the information in the following table to determine if you need to run DSRepair to modify
containment lists.
If containment requirements aren't met, run DSRepair to correct the schema.
1 In Novell iManager, click the Roles and Tasks button Description: Roles and Tasks button .
The server holding the target
container must also hold a replica
of the ROOT partition. If the server doesn't hold a replica of ROOT, the graft will fail and
you will see error
-672 No Access
because the directory is
unable to verify administrator rights for the target tree.
Use iManager to add a replica for ROOT. For more information,
see
“Adding a Replica” on page 137 .
The schema on both the source
and target trees must be the same. Run the Graft option in DSMerge. If reports indicate schema
problems, run DSRepair on the target tree to import the schema
from the source tree.
The graft operation automatically imports the schema from the
target tree to the source tree.
Run DSMerge again.
Only one tree can have a security
container subordinate to the tree
root. If both the source and target tree have the security container,
remove one container as explained in
Appendix A, “NMAS
Considerations,” on page 601 .
The source tree's time reference
must be reconfigured. The source tree should usually be set as a secondary server
configured to get its time source from a server in the target tree.
To reconfigure Timesync, see Configuring Timesync on Servers
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/nw65/time_enu/data/
abzqzx2.html)
in the Network Time Management Administration
Guide .
Target Tree Container
Requirements The target tree container object must include the domain object in its
containment list.
You can check this using iMonitor > Schema . If the containment list
does not include Domain, run DSRepair to make schema
enhancements.
Source Tree Requirements The graft operation changes the source tree root from the class Tree
Root to the class Domain. All of the object classes that are
subordinate to the Tree must be able to be contained by the class
Domain according to the schema rules.
You can check this using iMonitor > Schema . If the containment list
does not include Domain, run DSRepair to make schema
enhancements.
