DSfW Monitor daemon

Published September 11, 2014 | By admin

I just created a demonized version of the DSfW Monitor script.  For more information on the script look the DSfW Monitor script post.

Now you don’t have to create a cronjob to continuously run the tool.  Simply download and install the dsfwmon.rpm.

The install will create the /etc/init.d/dsfwmon startup script, the /opt/dsfwdude/conf/dsfwmon.conf file to edit the configuration and the dsfwmon daemon.  It also has log rotating enabled.

The install will enable the dsfwmon script so that when the server starts, the script will start monitoring the services.

Edit the /opt/dsfwdude/conf/dsfwmon.conf to send an e-mail if a service has to be restarted.  Do not adjust the delay time less than 5 minutes.  The script could possibly step on itself, trying to check the services while restarting the services.

Common changes are to enable e-mail setting to be sent when the services restart,… Continue reading →

I/OTest script to check if the disk I/O is causing slow performance

Published March 5, 2014 | By admin

Slow VM Performacne, use IOTest to see if the disk IO is the culprit

This script will test the disk IO by copying 500Mb of data using the same block size as eDir uses and with the same api eDir uses “fdatasync”.
This writes 500 Mb of data each iteration to the iotest.log in the dib directory, usually the /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib/
It will overwrite the previous data in the iotest.log each time it runs.  Anything under 100 MB/s is a concern and will cause slowness for eDirectory and possible memory build up.  IO causes a bottleneck for events to be written to disk.  A build up of memory by ndsd can cause a ndsd to take all available memory (both virtual and resident) causing ndsd to core.

If slow IO writes are seen with the iotest script begin the process of adding hard drives and reducing the… Continue reading →

OES11SP2 is Available for Download

Published January 28, 2014 | By admin

OES11sp2 is now available for download.

Sites and Subnets functionality is the biggest addition to DSfW.  It will allow the configuration of users to authenticate to a specific Domain Controller.  For this feature to work all Domain Controllers must be OES11sp2 servers.
Easy Wins configuration, Mac Client Support, Windows 8 Support,  Windows 2012 Support, and SASL NTMSSP Support are also big additions.
The SASL NTLMSSP Support will allow NTLM over LDAP bind request to be fullfilled.  Since more and more applications are supporting SASL NTLMSSP as the primary authentication mechanism for 2008 and 2012 servers this will allow more applications to work directly with DSfW.
The Novell Client has worked with well DSfW since OES2SP3, but that configuration was not supported.  It is now supported.
Download and test OES11sp2.  It is more robust and feature rich than previous… Continue reading →

NDSD Health Check Script

Published May 1, 2013 | By admin

I’ve received a great deal of feed back on the DSfW Health Check Script and applied some changes. One of the suggestions was to do only a ndsd (eDirectory) script. The DSfW Health Check Script works for both DSfW and eDirectory servers, but if all you want to do is check eDirectory health on a DSfW server or want a script only for ndsd that is smaller and simple this is an option.

I am always looking for suggestions. I’ve created a video for the ndsd_heaclthchk script. Watch to to learn about configuring it for your specific needs.

For for NDSD Health Check in the download section.

The configuration options are as follows

# Set emailsetting to 1 to send e-mail log when finished. Set to 0 or remove the 1 to disable
emailsetting=0

# Set emailonerror to 1 to send e-mail log if an error is returned. Set to… Continue reading →

Troubleshooting High Utilization – High Utilization Gstack tool

Published February 28, 2013 | By admin

Some times ndsd or another process can cause a server to go into high utilization or to become unresponsive.  A great TID to follow for OES servers is TID 7007332 – Troubleshooting ndsd becoming unresponsive on OES Linux.  A TID specific for DSfW servers to start with is TID 7010462- Troubleshooting slow logins and unresponsive DSfW server.

When trouble shooting a process stuck in high utilization or causing a server to slow down or become unresponsive looking at a top output for a daemon like ndsd with individual threads shown and a correlating gstack can show us which thread is in high utilization and what that thread is doing.  In most cases it is best to take a number of gstacks every 10 seconds to 60 seconds depending on the situation.  We can see not only what that thread is doing but if the… Continue reading →

DSfW and eDirectory Health Check

Published January 27, 2013 | By admin

It is a good idea to periodically check the health of DSfW and eDirectory servers.

This video concentrates on a script I wrote that can be ran on both eDirectory and DSfW servers.

The script demonstrated in this video is called dsfw_edir_healthchk.sh.  To get the latest version of the script click on the DSfW Health Check link in the download section on DSfWDude.com.

A great TID to start off with for a eDirectory health check is TID 3564075.
On a DSfW server start off with an eDirectory health check as well as TID 7001884 which has DSfW specific commands to check the health and overall operation of a DSfW server.

The script does most of the suggestions in both TIDs mentioned above plus a few more checks.

For eDirectory there are 8 checks the script does and… Continue reading →

Install error: ndsconfig error 74

Published January 24, 2013 | By admin

Installs can be tricky especially when installing into an existing tree that has been around since NetWare 4.11, has multiple partitions, several locations, and dozens of servers.  If the tree is not healthy the install of DSfW has a greater chance of failure.  If communication with all servers is good, the tree is healthy, and the Preparing for Domain Services for Windows Install TID is followed then usually the install goes through with out any issues.

If there is a failure a common error is ndsconfig error 74.   This video goes over the error.  The troubleshooting of this error can be applied to a similar error “ndsconfig error 80”.

DSfW Slow Performance/Group Types

Published January 24, 2013 | By admin

DSfW, like AD, has multiple group types.  This is found in the grouptype attribute.  TID 7004405 goes over the three group types.

Domain Local group: -2147483644
Global group: -2147483646
Universal group: -2147483640

The default group type is Universal group.   This group type can generate a lot of extra traffic causing the performance of the domain controller to suffer.

Global and Universal groups calculate a virtual attribute called tokenGroupsDomainLocal. This attribute is calculated for the group by the slapi layer. When a user is a member of several groups login times can increase. An increase in ndsd utilization can also result from the calculation of the tokenGroupsDomainLocal when a large number of groups reside within the domain.

If ndsd utilization is high or login times need to be reduced, change groups to Domain Local groups to avoid the calculation of the tokenGroupsDomainLocal virtual attribute.

Here is a… Continue reading →
