/etc/init.d/ndsd stop
2 Remove NICI.
pkgrm NOVLniu0
3 Install NICI shipped with eDirectory 8.8 SP7.
pkgadd -d NOVLniu0.pkg
4 Start eDirectory.
/etc/init.d/ndsd start
5 Run
nds-install
from the eDirectory 8.8 SP7 package.
While shutting down the eDirectory 8.7.3.x server with the latest NICI, ndsd sometimes dumps
the core in the DIB directory of eDirectory. You can ignore it because it does not corrupt data or
disrupt services.

2.3.3 Upgrade Fails if the Mount Point Is Set to /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/
data
Upgrading eDirectory by using the
ndsconfig upgrade
command fails, if mount point is set to
/
var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data
.Upgrade halts and the following error message is displayed:
ERROR: Unable to check if the directory "/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data_upg_bak"
already exists. If the directory exists, delete it and execute `ndsconfig upgrade -
-config-file /etc/nds.conf`to restart the upgrade operation.
The problem arises because during the upgrade, the
/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data
directory
is renamed to
/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data_upg_bak
in order that no customer data is lost.
In this case,
/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data
directory is the mount point, which cannot be
renamed.
To workaround this issue, do either of the following:
Change the mount point to
/var/opt/novell/eDirectory
.
