dsktune Utility
For UNIX platforms, Directory Server provides a utility named
help you verify whether you have the appropriate patches installed on your
system. The utility also provides useful information and advice on how to tune
your kernel parameters for best performance. After you've installed Directory
Server, you can find the utility in the
/usr/netscape/servers/bin/slapd/server
For information on running
Solaris 8 Operating System
If you run Directory Server on a Solaris operating system, you must ensure that the
recommended patch cluster is installed. Solaris patches are identified by two
numbers, for example 106125-10. The first number (106125) identifies the patch
itself. The second number identifies the version of the patch, in the example above
the patch is version number 10. We recommend installing the latest version of the
patch in order to benefit from the latest fixes.
