Adjust the frequency of health checks as your environment changes. Factors that influence the
timing of your health checks include the following:
Number of partitions and replicas
Stability of replica holding servers
Amount of information in an eDirectory partition
Object size and complexity
Number of errors in previous DSRepairs
When you perform a health check, iMonitor gathers information from all servers based on given
rights. Be aware that running health check reports might generate network traffic and use disk space.
18.7.2 Health Check Overview
A complete health check includes checking the following:
eDirectory version
Running different versions of NDS or eDirectory on the same version of NetWare can cause
synchronization problems. If your version of NDS or eDirectory is outdated, download the
latest software patch from
Novell Directory Services Patches and Files (http://
support.novell.com/filefinder/5069/index.html)
.
Time synchronization
All eDirectory servers must maintain accurate time. Time stamps are assigned to each object
and property and they ensure the correct order for object and property updates. Using time
stamps, eDirectory determines which replicas need to be synchronized.
Synchronization tolerances
Time periods since a server has synched with inbound and outbound data changes, how much
data is outstanding, etc.
Background processes
Processes that perform a variety of tasks including replication of changes and maintenance of
system information.
