20 Sun ONE Directory Server Installation and Tuning Guide • June 2003
Determining What to Install
You have a number of alternatives to evaluate before you decide which software to
install. Consider these questions:
• Do you need large cache capabilities for a high-volume deployment?
If so, consider using a platform on which Directory Server can run as a 64-bit
process, and install the 64-bit version.
If yourDirectory Server deploymentis relatively small, with a database size of
less than 500 MB, consider installing only 32-bit support, even on platforms
that support 64-bit versions.
• Do you plan to administer Directory Server through the graphical user
interface?
If so, installSun ONE Server Console and Sun ONE Administration Server.
If you intend to administer Directory Server through the command-line
interface only, then you may choose not to install the Console and
Administration Server.
If you intend to use the system for remote management through the graphical
user interface, you may choose to install only the Console and Administration
Server.
• Do you intend to deploy Directory Server on Sun Cluster software?
If so, refer to Appendix C, “Installing Sun Cluster HA forDirectoryServer,” for
instructions.
Determining How to Install
You also have alternatives to evaluate before you decide which packaging best fits
your deployment, and whether you intend to install interactively. Consider these
questions:
• Do you want tighter integration with Solaris system administration processes?
Do you want to share components among multiple Sun ONE servers on the
same system?
If so, consider installing using Solaris Packages.
