-667 FFFFFD65   PARTITION ROOT

Source:  eDirectory or NDS

Explanation:  An attempt was made to perform an unsupported operation on an eDirectory or NDS partition.

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 delete the partition root object.

Action:  Merge the object with the parent partition, and then delete the object.

Possible Cause:  An attempt was made to delete a Subtree that contained a partition root object.

Action:  Contact a Novell Support Provider.

Possible Cause:  If this error occurs during the eDirectory or NDS replica synchronization process, the target server could be missing from the replica ring of one of the child partitions of the partition root being synchronized on the database of the source server.

This triggers an attempt by the source server to instruct the target server to request a subordinate reference replica from the master replica of the child partition. However, the target server already holds a replica of the child partition.

Action:  Handle this as discrepancy for an eDirectory or NDS partition replica-ring.

Possible Cause:  If this error occurs as a reply to an Inspect Entry request or when the eDirectory or NDS Flat Cleaner background process is executing with DSTRACE active and the DSTRACE Inspector flag set, the non-partition root object claims to exist in a partition other than its parent partition. In this case, the following message will be displayed:

INSPECTOR: partitionID of entry ObjectEntryID is invalid

Action:  Handle this as discrepancy for an eDirectory or NDS partition replica-ring.
