Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.0 Command Reference Manual page 139

cn=NetscapeRoot, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config and cn=UserRoot, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config
Parameter
Example
3.4.3.2. nsslapd-cachememsize
This performance tuning-related attribute specifies the cache size in terms of available memory space.
The simplest method is limiting cache size in terms of memory occupied. Activating automatic cache
resizing overrides this attribute, replacing these values with its own guessed values at a later stage
of the server startup. 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.

Example
3.4.3.3. nsslapd-directory
This attribute specifies the path to the database instance. If it is a relative path, it starts from the
path specified by nsslapd-directory in the global database entry cn=config, cn=ldbm
database, cn=plugins, cn=config. The database instance directory is named after the
instance name and located in the global database directory, by default. After the database instance
has been created, do not modify this path, because any changes risk preventing the server from
accessing data.

NOTE
The nsslapd-cachememsize attribute also defines the import buffer size. The
import buffer size is automatically configured to be 80% of whatever the nsslapd-
cachememsize setting is. When importing databases with very large attributes, be
sure to reset the nsslapd-cachememsize value to something high enough so
that .80*cacheSize is enough to allow the import to proceed.
