Cannot start directory on a new evaluation install

Question

I am trying to install Communications Suite 6 for evaluation, following instructions in the Sun Doc "Deployment Example: Sun Java Communications Suite 6 on a Single Host". This is on a Solaris 8 box (I was hoping I could get away with that). I have installed from DSEE.6.3.Solaris_Sparc_full, and created a Directory Server instance (dsadm create -p 389 -P 636 /var/ot/SUNWdsee/dsins1). When I try to start the instance using "dsmadm start /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dsins1 I get the following errors:
./dsadm start /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dsins1

Is this because I am on Solaris ?

This is on a Solaris 8 box (I was hoping I could get away with that). DSEE 6.3 is not supported on Solaris 8. I suggest you save yourself a lot of time and effort and upgrade to Solaris 10.
