Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

as any changes risk preventing the server from accessing data.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins,
cn=config
Valid Values Any valid absolute path to the database
instance
Default Value
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-directory:
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/db
4.1.22. nsslapd-import-cachesize
This performance tuning-related attribute determines the size of the database cache used in the
bulk import process. Setting this attribute value so that the maximum available system physical
memory is used for the database cache during bulk importing optimizes bulk import speed.
Attempting to set a value that is not a number or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer returns an
LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message, with additional error information explaining the
problem.
NOTE
A cache is created for each load that occurs. For example, if the user sets the
nsslapd-import-cachesize attribute to 1 gigabyte, then 1 gigabyte is used
when loading one database, 2 gigabytes is used when loading two databases,
and so on. Ensure there is sufficient physical memory to prevent swapping from
occurring, as this would result in performance degradation.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins,
cn=config
Valid Range 500 kilobytes to 4 gigabytes for 32-bit
platforms and 500 kilobytes to 2^64-1 for
64-bit platforms
Default Value 20 000 000
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-import-cachesize: 20 000 000
