Follow the recommendations given below after the DSfW installation is complete and before you initiate provisioning:
Configure user space core dump creation before provisioning and reboot.
Verify time synchronization
ntpq -p
Verify name resolution (DNS and SLP) using slptool and nslookup.
Ensure that the CA server can resolve the new server's name.
Ensure that all existing DSfW servers are up and running.
Add replicas manually before initiating provisioning. In a single-domain scenario, add replicas of all partitions. In a multi-domain scenario, add replicas of all child partitions that belong to the mapped partition and to the domain.
Use rpcclient to verify samba.
Use X server on the local console.
Always enable and use custom provisioning and ensure that only the first eDirectory partition being mapped to the domain is added during initial provisioning. Add additional partitions later using the domainctrl tool.
