!!! Limber [{$pagename}] [EDirectory Background Processes] is responsible with maintaining [NDS] Tree connectivity and periodically, each [NcpServer] in the NDS tree checks and verifies that it still knows the correct tree name. [{$pagename}] is the process that performs Agent [Configuration] [Synchronization]. [{$pagename}] (may also be referred to as Connectivity Check) may trigger other processes to refresh their configuration (i.e. [LDAP], etc.) [{$pagename}] is scheduled to run every 4 hours by default, which is configurable in [NDS] [Imonitor]. [{$pagename}] will also run when requested or when a change is noticed that needs to be synchronized. [{$pagename}] check is executed when the [NcpServer] boots, when the [NDS] processes are restarted and when the server receives a specific [{$pagename}] request from another [NcpServer]. [{$pagename}] process typically runs when a tree name changes or with [IP] or [IPX] address changes. A [NcpServer] holding the Master [NDS Partition] needs to send out the request. Additionally, the Limber process will run when the Master [NDS Partition] of a server receives change information from another [NcpServer]/partition on the NDS tree. After questioning several sources, it is still unclear to me why this process is named [{$pagename}], so that will remain a mystery for now. However, naming issues aside, [{$pagename}] is an [EDirectory Background Processes] that is responsible for * Making sure that the [eDirectory] referral information for this server is properly maintained in each [partition] hosted on this [NcpServer]. * Making sure that the [NcpServer] hosting the Master [replica] of the [partition] in which the Server object for this [NcpServer] resides has the correct [Relative Distinguished Name] ([RDN]) for this server. * Making sure the server object in [eDirectory] correctly reflects the [Operating System] [version] and [NetworkAddress] in use on this server. * Making sure the name of the [eDirectory] tree in which this server resides is correctly reported. * Monitoring the [NDS External References]/[DRL] links between this server and the [partition] replica that holds this server's [eDirectory] Server object. This is done to make sure that the [eDirectory] server can be properly accessed via its eDirectory object. * Making sure this server's identification information is correct. [{$pagename}] can be monitored indirectly through * [Ndsrepair] using the Check External Reference, Report Synchronization Status, and Replica Ring repair options. * [Ndstrace] ([LMBR] Flag) also provides the ability to monitor Limber directly. !!
