3. The dsktune utility runs. Select y to continue with the setup.
dsktune checks the available disk space, processor type, physical memory, and other system
data and settings such as TCP/IP ports and file descriptor settings. If your system does not meet
these basic Red Hat Directory Server requirements, dsktune returns a warning. dsktune
warnings do not block the setup process; simply enter y to go to the next step.
4. Next, choose the setup type. Enter 1 to perform an express setup.
5. The next step allows you to register your Directory Server with an existing Directory Server
instance, called the Configuration Directory Server. This registers the new instance so it can be
managed by the Console. If this is the first Directory Server instance set up on your network,
it is not possible to register it with another directory. Select n to set up this Directory Server
as a Configuration Directory Server and move to the next express install step, setting up the
administrator user.
NOTE
To register the Directory Server instance with an existing Configuration Directory
Server, select yes. This continues with the registration process rather than the regular
express setup process.
Registering a new instance with a Configuration Directory Server requires you to
supply information about the Configuration Directory Server:
• The Configuration Directory Server URL, such as ldap://
ldap.example.com:389/o=NetscapeRoot
