Try the following approaches to allow creation of the catalog file.

• There may be a file named DAOSCAT.NSF that Domino is unable to remove to create the new file. Remove any existing DAOSCAT.NSF file and restart the server.
• There may be a subdirectory/directory link in the Domino data directory named DAOSCAT.NSF that Domino is unable to remove. Remove the subdirectory/directory link named DAOSCAT.NSF and restart the server.
• The server may not have appropriate access to create the catalog file in the Domino data directory. Change the access control on the Domino data directory so that the Domino server can create files, and then restart the server.
• There may be insufficient disk space on the device holding the Domino data directory to create the DAOS catalog file. Create additional disk space, and restart the server.
• The Domino data directory may be on a machine that is experiencing problems such as hardware failure, network failure (if using a networked or NAS device) or any other similar problem. Check the system logs to see if there are any logged events related to problems with the device. Correct any issues, and then restart the server.
