RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: ipa-4.0.3-1.el7
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
The "ipactl restart" command requires the Directory Server (DS) service to be running. Consequently, "ipactl restart" fails with an error message when this condition is not met. To work around this problem, use the "ipactl start" command to start DS before executing "ipactl restart". Note that you can use the "ipactl status" command to verify if DS is running.

Description Yi Zhang 2013-11-21 23:01:11 UTC 
Description of problem:

Simple put: ipactl restart does not work if current ipa server status is "stop".
The following message will print:
Failed to read data from Directory Service: Failed to get list of services to
probe status:
Directory Server is stopped
Shutting down


test shows:
1. if ipa server is running currently, "ipactl restart" will success
2. if ipa server is stopped currently, "ipactl restart" will fail, however,
"ipactl start" will success

Comment 7 Martin Kosek 2014-12-03 15:52:43 UTC 
Note that this issue is only valid for RHEL-7.0, it is about to be fixed in RHEL-7.0 so the Known Issue should be omitted from 7.1 release notes.
