A QUICK START ATTEMPT FAILED DUE TO reason.

Reason:

During CA VM:Director initialization, a quick start of the object directory is always attempted unless you explicitly request a source start by using one of several startup options. This message indicates that the attempted quick start has failed, and specifies the reason for the failure. The variable reason is one of the following:

• THE OBJECT DIRECTORY BEING WRITTEN BY ANOTHER PRODUCT OR RELEASE

  The object directory found is incompatible with the version of CA VM:Director that is running and the operating system on which it is running. Possible causes are:

  The directory was created using the DIRECTXA command.

  The directory was created using a different release of CA VM:Director.

  The directory was created using a different release of the operating system.

  In any case, the object directory cannot be used and must be recreated. This will occur automatically.

• MANUALLY MODIFYING THE SOURCE DIRECTORY SINCE THE OBJECT DIRECTORY WAS WRITTEN

  CA VM:Director detects inconsistencies between the source and object directories by comparing the time stamp of the most recently updated source entry with the time stamp of the last update of the object directory (assuming it was written by CA VM:Director). If the difference between these two time stamps is greater than three seconds, the two are considered out of sync and CA VM:Director creates the object directory again.

• PROFILE profilename or USER userid FOUND MISSING FROM THE SOURCE DIRECTORY
• A USER ON HOLD, userid, BEING FOUND IN THE OBJECT DIRECTORY
• A USER ON HOLD, userid, BEING FOUND IN THE ACTIVE SOURCE DIRECTORY
• HELD USER userid FOUND MISSING FROM THE SOURCE DIRECTORY

  These errors are most likely caused by manually copying or erasing directory entries on either the DRCT or the HOLD source minidisk or both minidisks. CA VM:Director detects these inconsistencies by comparing them with the object directory.

• AN ERROR MAPPING A MINIDISK FOR USER userid

  This error is most likely caused by manually updating the DASD CONFIG file or a directory entry on the DRCT source disk while CA VM:Director is not running.

Action:

CA VM:Director continues by automatically initiating a source start. This will cause the object directory to be recreated, thus making the two versions compatible again. Find and correct the cause of the quick start failure to enable future quick starts to succeed; this will reduce the initialization time significantly.
