5.3.2 Domain Services for Windows Issues
Starting with GroupWise 8 Support Pack 1, GroupWise is supported in a Domain Services for
Windows (DSfW) environment. However, workarounds are required for two specific situations:
The GroupWise Installation program cannot add GroupWise accounts to User objects if the
User objects are located in a DSfW partition. Use ConsoleOne to create GroupWise accounts
for such users after you install the GroupWise software.
The GroupWise Installation program can create all GroupWise objects in a DSfW partition
except for the WebAccess Application object (named GroupWiseWebAccess). Use
ConsoleOne to create the WebAccess Application object, then run the Installation program to
install and configure the WebAccess Application software.
5.3.3 GroupWise Installation to a Xen Guest on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
When you install GroupWise on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 to a Xen guest, you
might receive the following error message:
The current window is not large enough to run install. Please resize the window
and run install again.
At present, the SLES 10 Xen console window does not report its dimensions properly. To work
around this:
1
Make sure that SSH is enabled on the Xen guest.
2
Open an X terminal window on the SLES 10 Xen host, using the following command:
ssh -X root@
guest_ip_address
3
Run the GroupWise Installation program from the Xen host.
5.3.4 Problem Copying the Monitor Files to the Software Distribution Directory
On SLES 10 SP2, the Installation program occasionally cannot copy the Monitor software files to
the software distribution directory. This appears to be a timing issue. Try again using the Installation
program, or manually copy the Monitor files to the software distribution directory.
5.3.5 Upgrading from an Incomplete Software Distribution Directory
All GroupWise components on a server must be updated at the same time. Therefore, if you are
installing GroupWise 8 from a software distribution directory that does not contain RPMs for all the
components installed on the server, you receive the following error:
Install failed for an unknown reason (7)
The GroupWise 8 component cannot be updated because its RPM is not present in the software
distribution directory. You can use the
GroupWise 8 for Linux
downloaded image to update the
server, then use
Install Products > GroupWise Administration > Configure Administration
in the
GroupWise Installation program to create a complete software distribution directory.
