Boot Server Linux Additional Requirements

Symptom:

When I use Samba shares there is the following error message “ERROR: Failed to initialize locking database“ in the ca-dsm.log file.

Solution:

If the boot server is installed on a Linux computer with custom setup, it is possible to enable share access. The Linux boot server then looks for SAMBA in order to create OSIM shares.

In this case, enable SAMBA on your Linux system before starting the boot server installation.

Samba must be configured to use share security and encrypted passwords.

With some older SAMBA versions, the SAMBA configuration program produces the ERROR message “ERROR: Failed to initialize locking database“ in the ca-dsm.log file.

Please ignore this message, because SAMBA normally is configured properly.
