Resources are fine, and if we really need a 16 way machine this early in the 
game, then we should just forgoe all of this and stick it in our regular db 
that sits on a 16way with 32g of mem and a fiber channel san attached to it. 
iostat is fine, 2% usage 
CPU is at 0, RAM is not even being used, so of course there is no swap going 
on. 

I think we need to do some of this indexing on particular attributes, then 
address the possible query issue that we think is happening.

Hi, 



For applications there are lots of ways to improve performance….with no 
information supplied there is no where to start… 



Ie, look at your disk i/o…use iostat are the disks LDAP sits on at 100% 
utilisation? Even 80% is not good….if so make bigger raid sets and/or 
distribute the database over differing raid controllers and disk sets….get the 
utilisation down to 30%.... 



Is you memory full and you are into swapping? Make sure the issue is not disk 
i/o bottlenecks….if not add more ram…..make sure your swap is not 
exhausted….add more swap until you can get more ram… 



Are your switches or routers too slow? Check their utilisation….. 



CPU maxed out? Where is it going? On wait? Check disk i/o….consider dual Quad 
core machines…..or even 4 way quad core machines….Dell R900s are seriously 
grunty boxes, have 16 cores and hold 64gig of ram cheaply, then attach them to 
a SAN….

Subject: [Fedora-directory-users] LDAP Accounts for large website 



I was wondering if anyone here has ever used LDAP for a website, that will 
potentially have millions of LDAP accounts. 
If so, are you experiencing slow query responses or other issues? 
If you were experiencing slow query responses, and were able to rectify the 
issue, how did you do this? 
We are currently using FDS for our main website for customer accounts. We 
currently have over 52,000 accounts in LDAP and have only been using this for 3 
months. We are now experiencing extreme slow down in query response when 
getting customer data into and out of the LDAP servers. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
