Hi, There may be several attributes of interest to you as far as the memory consumption is concerned (<a href="http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/cli/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes.html">http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/cli/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes.html</a>) : nsslapd-dbcachesize nsslapd-cachememsize for every backend (by default, your data is in cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config) nsslapd-import-cachesize (used only during ldif import) You can adjust the corresponding values by monitoring the attributes like currententrycachesize or entrycachehitratio of cn=monitor,cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config (<a href="http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/cli/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes.html#Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes-Database_Attributes_under_cnmonitor_cnldbm_database_cnplugins_cnconfig">http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/cli/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes.html#Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes-Database_Attributes_under_cnmonitor_cnldbm_database_cnplugins_cnconfig</a>) <div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/26 Tim Hartmann <<a href="mailto:hartmann@fas.harvard.edu">hartmann@fas.harvard.edu</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi! I was spending some time today trying to make sure that I was getting the most bang for my buck today an my replica's and I notices two items of interest that I was wondering if anyone else had input on! Firstly, after creating a number of indexs, my performance seems to be really good, the exception that I noticed was "finger" I noticed that finger takes a couple of seconds to return the data on RHDS whereas on OpenLDAP, it pops right now in real time! My first though was that I was doing an un-indexed search, but I can't for the life of me figure out what I might not be indexing that I should be! The second thing I noticed was that on my servers, which are RHEL5, running 32bit OS's with the PAE Kernels, RHDS doesn't ever actually address more then 3 gig of ram! I was looking through the documentations, and it looks like by raising the "Maximum Cache Size" I'll be able to allow RHDS to use more of the available memory.. did I get that right? Anyway, as always thanks in advance for all the help! This list has been a tremendous resource for an application that keeps on showing it's value in huge ways!
