Symptoms

 

The 2.1.0.0 Major Update fails while configuring Orbacus with the error below.


Cause

  The IMR is trying to start the Corba server called NameService but the NameService is failing to start. The NameService server creates the Names.db file, but since it fails to start, the Names.db is not created.

*

*

The reason the NameService is failing to start:

The Rundir parameter for the Corba server is by default set to NULL by the 2.1.0.0 Major Updater. If the Rundir parameter is null, the IMR will try to start the NameService process using the C: drive. If the system does not have a C: drive, the NameService process (Nameserv.exe) cannot be started.


Solution

 

Ensure the system has a C: drive. Normally, systems shipped from Production will have a C: partition of 30 MB - 2 GB which contains the system boot files (ntldr, io.sys, msdos.sys etc.).

If the system does not have a C: drive, create a partition and assign the drive letter C:, or change the drive with the boot files to C: . (Do not change the system drive with the WINNT folder to C: !)

If you change the drive letter of the boot drive, run REGEDIT and search for any occurrences of the old drive letter and change them to C:.

Permanent fix:
