Yes, the target is dirsrv.target, not dirsrv.service, while instances 
are dirsrv at NAME.service. That is life.

systemctl start dirsrv.target

now would bring both instances up -- when you'll solve 
kerberos credentials access.

It should be /etc/dirsrv/ds.keytab, not /etc/krb5.keytab. Could you 
please show your /etc/sysconfig/dirsrv? KRB5_KTNAME there should point 
to /etc/dirsrv/ds.keytab and as you have installation that worked 
before, the keytab should be in place already and with proper 
ownership (dirsrv:dirsrv).

Dan, could you please file a bug against freeipa in Fedora 16 to ask 
about upgrade from Fedora 15. I'll then work out the script and how to use 
it. I'm not sure it will be possible to use it in %post for upgrades 
but at least running it after yum upgrade would be possible.
