SAMBA Error with the Scalability Server (Boot Server) Installation on Linux

Note: SAMBA servers may display an error message with the scalability server (boot server) installation on Linux.

When a boot server is installed on a Linux computer with Custom Setup, it is possible to enable share access. If share access has been enabled, the Linux boot server looks for SAMBA to create OSIM shares.

With some older versions of SAMBA, the configuration program produces the ERROR message “ERROR: Failed to initialize locking database“ in the ca-dsm.log file. Ignore this message, because SAMBA is probably configured properly from an OSIM point of view and can be used.
