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

Example 4-1 Database directory contents
__db.001 __db.003 __db.005 NetscapeRoot/
__db.002 __db.004 DBVERSION log.0000000007 userRoot/
db.00x files
Used internally by the database and should not be moved,
deleted, or modified in any way.
log.xxxxxxxxxx files
Used to store the transaction logs per database.
DBVERSION
Used for storing the version of the database.
NetscapeRoot Stores the o=NetscapeRoot database created by default when
the setup-ds-admin.pl script is run.
userRoot
Stores the user-defined suffix (user-defined databases) created
at setup; for example, dc=example,dc=com.
NOTE:
If a new database is created (for example, testRoot) to store the directory tree under a new
suffix, the directory named testRoot also appears in the
/var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/db directory.
The following is a sample listing of the NetscapeRoot directory contents.
Example 4-2 NetscapeRoot database directory contents
./entrydn.db4*parentid.db4*
../givenName.db4*sn.db4*
DBVERSION*id2entry.db4*uid.db4*
aci.db4*nsUniqueId.db4*uniquemember.db4*
ancestorid.db4*numsubordinates.db4*
cn.db4*objectclass.db4*
The NetscapeRoot subdirectories contain an index_name db4file for every index currently
defined in the database. In addition to these files, the NetscapeRoot and userRoot
subdirectories contain the following files:
• ancestorid.db4
Contains a list of IDs to find the ID of the entry's ancestor.
• entrydn.db4
Contains a list of full DNs to find any ID.
• id2entry.db4
Contains the actual directory database entries. All other database files can be recreated from
this one, if necessary.
• nsuniqueid.db4
Contains a list of unique IDs to find any ID.
• numsubordinates.db4
Contains IDs that have child entries.
• objectclass.db4
Contains a list of IDs which have a particular object class.
• parentid.db4
Contains a list of IDs to find the ID of the parent.
