Some eDirectory database problems are not fatal, and eDirectory will continue to operate. But if the database becomes corrupted, you will get a message on the console that the server could not open the local database. In this case, run Repair or contact Novell Support.
Novell does not recommend running repair operations unless you run into problems with eDirectory, or are told to do so by Novell Support. However, you are encouraged to use the diagnostic features available in Repair and in other Novell utilities such as Novell iMonitor. For more information, see Using Novell iMonitor 2.1.
