HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference

To configure a dbcache size larger than 4 gigabytes, add the nsslapd-dbncache attribute to
cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config between the
nsslapd-dbcachesize and nsslapd-db-logdirectory attribute lines.
Set this value to an integer that is one-quarter (1/4) the amount of memory in gigabytes. For
example, for a 12 gigabyte system, set the nsslapd-dbncache value to 3; for an 8 gigabyte
system, set it to 2.
This attribute is provided only for system modification/diagnostics and should be changed only
with the guidance of HP technical support or HP professional services. Inconsistent settings of
this attribute and other configuration attributes may cause the Directory Server to be unstable.
The server has to be restarted for changes to this attribute to go into effect.

This attribute specifies absolute path to database instance. If the database instance is manually

as any changes risk preventing the server from accessing data.
