Suggested Minimum Requirements
80 Sun ONE Directory Server Installation and Tuning Guide • June 2003
Minimum disk space requirements include 1 GB devoted to access logs. By default,
Directory Server is configured to rotate through 10 access log files
(
nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsperdir on cn=config) each holding up to 100 MB
(
nsslapd-accesslog-maxlogsize on cn=config) of messages. Volume for error
and audit logs depends on how Directory Server is configured. Refer to the Sun
ONE Directory Server Administration Guide for details on configuring logging.
Minimum Available Memory
Minimum memory estimates reflect memory used by an instance of Directory
Server in a typical deployment. The estimates do not account for memory used by
the system and by other applications. For a more accurate picture, you must
measure memory use empirically. Refer to “Sizing Physical Memory,” on page 81
for details.

Minimum Local Disk Space
Minimum local disk space estimates reflect the space needed for an instance of
Directory Server in a typical deployment. Experience suggests that if directory
entries are large, the space needed is at minimum four times the size of the
equivalent LDIF on disk. Refer to “Sizing Disk Subsystems,” on page 85 for details.
Do not install the server or any data it accesses on network disks. Sun ONE
DirectoryServer software doesnotsupporttheuseofnetworkattachedstoragevia
NFS, AFS, or SMB. Instead, all configuration, log, database, and index files must
reside on local storage at all times, even after installation.
