Operation - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE 11 - SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT TOOL GUIDE 10-02-2009 Manual

To do this, run posldap2crconfig.pl --dumpall on the Branch Server. The
command will create needed files for all the affected terminals.
Alternatively, you can run posAdmin.pl --updateconfig on the Administration
Server with the terminals specified in a --dList option. Also be aware that in the
latter case, the Branch Server must have a public IP address.

16.2 Operation

The following sections describe frequently encountered difficulties with system opera-
tion.
16.2.1 Image Building
Image Creator or KIWI cannot determine which user groups (GIDs) are to be created
in post-installation scripts by the selected packages. If there is a conflict between GIDs
added in the user configuration and GIDs added by post-installation scripts, image
building will fail.
Symptoms
Image building fails with message groupadd: GID 100 is not unique or
similar.
Hints
• When you configure users to be created on the target system, avoid conflicting
GIDs.
16.2.2 Image Distribution
The possyncimages.pl tool distributes the boot and client images from the Admin-
istration Server to the Branch Server. It uses the RSYNC service to let the Branch
Servers download only the files that need to be updated.
