ndsrepairs run on all existing oes2k15sp1sles11.4 servers in the tree as -R -l yes -u yes -m yes -f yes.
new server installed at oes2k18sp3sles12sp5. edirectory imanager and directory installed as pattern on new server.
all checked for networking, firewall, SLP, DNS, NTP.
add root replica - stalls with subject error which includes: "the database subsystem has encountered an error not mapped to an existing eDirectory error" which looks pretty grim.
cant find any info anywhere.
waited a couple of hours for support - but with replication broken i dumped the offending server out of the tree which restarted replication.
To my mind just trying it again without any remedial action will result in the same.
Any ideas?
