Installing Novell eDirectory on Linux

This section contains the minimum system requirements for Novell
installation commands, and a brief description of the eDirectory configuration utilities.

Hardware requirements depend on the specific implementation of eDirectory.
Two factors increase performance: more cache memory and faster processors.
For best results, cache as much of the DIB Set as the hardware allows up to 2GB.
eDirectory scales well on a single processor. However, eDirectory 8.6 takes advantage of multiple
processors. Adding processors improves performance in some areas, for example, logins and having multiple
threads active on multiple processors. eDirectory itself is not processor-intensive, but it is I/O-intensive.
The following table illustrates typical system requirements for eDirectory for Linux:
