Source: eDirectory or NDS
Explanation: The requested operation cannot be performed on a server because the replica type held by the server cannot be used to service the request. Specific eDirectory or NDS partition and object operations require varying replica types.
WARNING: Applying all solutions mentioned in this topic could make the problem worse if the actual cause of the problem is not known. Before following a course of action, make sure that you understand the cause of the error and the consequences for the actions suggested.
Possible Cause: An attempt was made to set the bindery context at the server console of a server that does not have a read/write replica of the container that is referenced in the bindery context.
Action: Use NDS manager to add a replica that includes the bindery context to that server. Bindery context requires a writable replica (either a read/write or a master replica) in order to be set.
Verify that the server has a writable replica of the partition containing the container to which you are trying to set the bindery context.
Possible Cause: A request to modify an object and/or its attributes was received by a server that does not hold a replica of the specified object's partition. In this instance, the error might indicate a fault in the application issuing the request.
Action: Contact the developer of the application.
Possible Cause: An attempt was made to initiate a partition operation using a server that does not hold the master replica.
Action: Ensure the partition being manipulated has a master replica and the replica rings of each of the servers holding a replica of the partition are consistent.
Possible Cause: An attempt was made to add a replica to a server and the replica type being added was not read/write or read-only. Only read/write and read-only replica types can be added to a server by an eDirectory or NDS client. Replica types of subordinate references are automatically placed by NDS. In this instance, the error indicates a program fault with the application being used to add the replica.
Action: Contact the developer of the application.
Possible Cause: An attempt was made to modify a replica ring of a partition by a server that does not hold the master replica. Only the server holding the master replica of the partition can modify the partition's replica ring. In this instance, the error indicates a program fault with the application being used to modify the replica.
Action: Contact the developer of the application.
