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

4.5 LDIF files
The LDIF files exported by db2ldif or db2ldif.pl scripts in the instance directory are stored
in /var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif.
4.6 Lock files
Each Directory Server instance contains a /var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/lock
directory for storing lock-related files. The following is a sample listing of the locks directory
contents.
Example 4-3 Lock directory contents
exports/ imports/ server/
The lock mechanisms stored in the exports, imports, and server subdirectories prevent
multiple, simultaneous operations from conflicting with each other. The lock mechanisms allow
for one server instance to run at a time, with possible multiple export jobs. They also permit one
ldif2db import operation at a time (not ldif2db.pl, because multiple ldif2db.pl operations
can be run at any time) to the exclusion of all export and slapd server operations.
If there are error messages indicating that the lock table is out of available locks (for example,
libdb: Lock table is out of available locks), double the value of the
nsslapd-db-locks attribute in the cn=config,cn=ldbm
database,cn=plugins,cn=config entry.
For example, if the current value is 10000, set it to 20000. If the problem persists, double the
number again. To monitor the current and maximum number of locks, do a search on
cn=database, cn=monitor, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config. For
example:
# ldapsearch -h localhost -p 389 \
-D "cn=directory manager" -w password
-b "cn=database,cn=monitor,cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins,cn=config" objectclass=* |
grep -- -locks: )
For more information on using LDAP utilities, see the HP-UX Directory Server administrator guide.
4.7 Log files
Each Directory Server instance contains a /var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/log
directory for storing log files. The following is a sample listing of the log directory contents.
Example 4-4 Log directory contents
access access.20090228-171925 errors
access.20090221-162824 access.rotationinfo errors.20090221-162824
access.20090223-171949 audit errors.rotationinfo
access.20090227-171818 audit.rotationinfo slapd.stats
• The contents of the access, audit, and error log files depend on the log configuration.
• The slapd.stats file is a memory-mapped file which cannot be read by an editor. It
contains data collected by the Directory Server SNMP data collection component. This data
is read by the SNMP subagent in response to SNMP attribute queries and is communicated
to the SNMP master agent responsible for handling Directory Server SNMP requests.
4.8 PID files
slapd-server_instance.pid and slapd-server_instance.startpid files are created
in the /var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/run directory when the server is up and
running. Both files store the server's process ID.
