Auto start of Directory's DSAs failed on RHEL 9

Products

• CA Directory

Issue/Introduction

On RHEL 9, the traditional System V init system is replaced by systemd init system, hence folder /etc/init.d does not exist on RHEL 9.

The Symantec Directory installer complained about missing /etc/init.d/dxserver file.

On the Symantec Directory support matrix, RHEL 9 is listed as supported.

Is there a plan for the installer to create a dxserver systemd service unit to auto start the DSAs?

Environment

Symantec Directory 14.1 SP6

Resolution

In the Consideration section of Platform Support Matrix doc, it says

You must install initscripts (for RHEL 9) or init-scripts (for Rocky Linux 9) before installing Directory or Directory Manager. If you do not install the appropriate scripts before installing Directory or Directory Manager, you must manually restart these services after rebooting the host machine.

So do install initscripts firstly

  #sudo dnf install initscripts

And then install Symantec Directory.
