Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Administrator's Guide

Option Description
-p Specifies the port number that the server
uses.
After deleting the two browsing index entries, the browsing index will no longer be maintained by
the Example1 database.
3.4.2. Running the vlvindex Script
After deleting browsing indexing entries or unwanted attribute types from existing browsing
indexing entries, run the vlvindex script to generate the new set of browsing indexes to be
maintained by the Directory Server. After the script is run, the new set of browsing indexes is
active for any new data added to the directory and any existing data in the directory.
1. Open the Directory Server instance directory.
2
cd /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name
2. Stop the server.
3
service dirsrv stop instance
3. Run the vlvindex script.
vlvindex -n Example1 -T "by MCC ou=people dc=example dc=com"
For more information about using the vlvindex script, see the Directory Server
Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
4. Restart the server.
service dirsrv start instance
Table 10.4, “vlvindex Options” describes the vlvindex options.
4. Managing Indexes
Each index that the directory uses is composed of a table of index keys and matching entry ID
lists. This entry ID list is used by the directory to build a list of candidate entries that may match
a client application's search request; Section 1, “About Indexes” describes each kind of
Directory Server index. The Directory Server secondary index structure greatly improves write
and search operations.
