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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2012:0819 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE ipa bug fix and enhancement update 2012-06-19 20:34:17 UTC

Description Michael Gregg 2012-02-15 18:30:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
If ipa-server-install --uninstall is run before all other ds instances have been removed, you will break the current ipa install, and will be unable to either reinstall ipa, or, continue removing ipa.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa-server-install (setup working ipa)
2. setup-ds.pl (setup a new ds instance on any available port)
3. ipa-server-install --uninstall
4. remove-ds.pl -i slapd-(step 2)
5. ipa-server-install --uninstall
  
Actual results:
[root@ipaqavmd ticket-278]# ipa-server-install --uninstall 
Are you sure you want to continue with the uninstall procedure? [no]: yes
Shutting down all IPA services
Removing IPA client configuration
Unconfiguring directory server
root        : ERROR    IPA cannot be re-installed without removing existing 389-ds instance(s)

[root@ipaqavmd ticket-278]# remove-ds.pl -i slapd-ipaqavmd
Instance slapd-ipaqavmd removed.

[root@ipaqavmd ticket-278]# ipa-server-install --uninstall 
Are you sure you want to continue with the uninstall procedure? [no]: yes
Shutting down all IPA services
Removing IPA client configuration
root        : ERROR    IPA cannot be re-installed without removing existing 389-ds instance(s)


Expected results:
It would be nice if IPA could uninstall while the other DS instances are around.

Comment 6 Rob Crittenden 2012-03-14 14:38:04 UTC 
I should add that this error wasn't that the uninstallation failed, it was warning that during uninstall it noticed that there are other instances around which would make re-installation not possible.

As I said, this was fixed upstream, but this is what the message was trying to say. remove-ds.pl does not fully remove instances (can't blame them, caution is good).

Verified using ipa-server-2.2.0-12.el6.x86_64

Steps taken while verifying bug 751769 - which verifies this bug:
installed ipaserver
then ran setup-ds.pl, and followed prompts to set up a ds instance as specified
above
uninstalled ipa-server without uninstalling the ds instance - was successful.

reinstalled ipa server after ds-instance was uninstalled successfully
