cannot initialize dsccsetup

807573 Apr 30, 2007 6:30 PM

I installed the java system directory server enterprise edition 6.0 on a netra t1 solaris 9 machine. I ran installer to install the software from native pkg. The installation is succsessful. But when I ran 'dsccsetup initialize' I got the following errors:

bash-2.05# /opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup initialize

Sofware installation is probably incomplete or corrupted

THen I did 'dsccsetup dismantle' then 'dsccsetup initialize', but still no luck with same error. I ran 'dsccsetup status'. Below is the status output:

bash-2.05# /opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/bin/dsccsetup status
***
DSCC Application is registered in Sun Java (TM) Web Console
***
DSCC Agent is registered in Cacao
***
DSCC Registry has not been created yet

What am I missing here?

thanks,

Xinhuan,

the error code 11 is weird because it means "bad argument value".
I looked at your command line and it seems fine. The only thing I can think of would be that your password file is malformed.
It should contain only the password on a single line.

let me know if this gets you going.

The password file is a temporary file created by dsccsetup. I have no way to check it when the process exits. Also, it says 'Software installation incomplete or corrupted'. I worried about the software installation did not complete even if the installer says it is succuessful.

Thanks,

have you tried to issue the same command manually ?
you can
echo password > /tmp/pwd.txt
and then issue the same command replacing --pwd-file by
/opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin/dsadm create -p 3998 -P 3999 --pwd-file /tmp/pwd.txt --username noaccess --groupname other /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/dcc/ads
and go from there.

I also met this problem and it seems like you can't use any kind of password
when asked for the Directory Service Manager password.
For example, I've tried admin6 and got the unexpected error 11.

Then, I used another password, without number, but 8 characters longs, which worked fine ..

Hope this helps ..

You are right. Using 8 characters password did solve the problem. Thanks very much!

Same error I was completly stumped untill I found this. I even did a complete reinstall from the OS on up.

using an eight character password(no mumbers, control characters or caps) work.

Dang, who would have thought.

I was also getting the same error and thought it was related to installation into a sparse zone or even my non-default install path. I never would have thought it was a password length issue.

Thank you for posting the information, hopefully someone will create useful error messages at some point.
