 When preparing a NetWare
®
4.1x tree for a merge, use DSREPAIR v4.56
or later to import the schema. Previous versions of DSREPAIR import the
schema for NetWare 6 incorrectly.
 Partition synchronization operations generally complete quickly after a
merge, but in some cases can take several hours. Use DSREPAIR to check
synchronization status before performing a merge to ensure that replica
synchronization processes are occurring properly.
 If you will merge trees where both your source and target tree contain
Security containers, one of the Security containers must be deleted to
successfully complete the merge. The Security container is located in
[Root] of the eDirectory tree. Deleting the Security container could have
serious consequences for the eDirectory tree Certificate Authority and
Key Material objects. See the Novell Certificate Server Administration
Guide for more information on this issue.
