Resolved.

To summarize, for anyone who could find himself in troubles due to missing admin-server configuration files:

Never delete  admin-serv/{admserv.conf, console.conf, httpd.conf and nss.conf} manually. Without them 389-admin package cannot even be removed.

To resolve my problem, I had to create dummy files with these names, remove 389-admin package(pkgutil –y –r CSW389-admin) and install it again to have setup-ds-admin.pl pass successfully.

Hi,

We keep failing  to install admin-server by setup-ds-admin script. Installation of dirsrv instance goes well.

We use 1-2-11 version of 389 DS on Solaris. Before running the setup script, I removed the previous installation with

remove-ds-admin.pl script. Also, some conf files from admin-serv directory I deleted manually.

Now, in addition to the failure to create admin-server, console.conf, httpd.conf and nss.conf have not been created.

Even the reboot of the machine did not help.

If you run "yum update 389-admin", are the files recovered?  These conf files are part of the 389-admin package.
$ rpm -ql 389-admin | egrep '\.conf'
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/admserv.conf
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/httpd.conf
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/nss.conf
