-1 error adding pool to nds

This error means that you don’t have a NSS admin object for this server in the eDirectory. You can fix this with nssAdminInstall.
The syntax is:

nssAdminInstall -a cn=Admin.o=novell -P -o ‘nssadmin.server1.novell’

The -P options means that you will be prompted for a password.

How to check for SLP DA on a OES

On Netware we had the command DISPLAY SLPDA to see witch DA where active. This command is not availiable on OES/SLES10 with OpenSLP.

If you want to see the active DA’s, issue the following command as root

slptool findsrvs service:service-agent

You will get a output something like this:

service:directory-agent://10.16.8.10,65535

service:directory-agent://10.16.8.11,65535

service:directory-agent://10.16.8.12,65535

service:directory-agent://10.16.8.13,65535

In this example we have 4 active DA’s

NSS and VMFS performance OES2 SP1

Earlier I blogged about the performance of NSS on VMFS.
You can read the result from that test over here.

Now I tested it also with SP1 for OES2 to see if the performance is better.

Sequential Output (nosync) Sequential Sequential Input
Per Char Per Block Rewrite Per Char Per Block 04K -3
MB K/Sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU
SLES10 SP2(VMI) NSS on VMFS 6000M 11860 35,4 18398 1,3 14309 9,6 15424 62,8 25728 20,4 145,4 0,7

As you can see the performance is a bit better, but not nearly the performance when you use a RDM. So the conslusion is still the same. If you want to use NSS in Vmware ESX. Use a RDM for your NSS partition.
