Hi Rakesh,

Those tuning may depend on the memory available on your machine.
nsslapd-cachememsize allows the entry cache to consume up to 200Mb but its memory footprint is known to go above. 200Mb both looks pretty good to me. How large is your machine ? What is your version of 389-ds ?

Those warnings do not change your settings. It just raise that entry cache of 'ipaca' and 'retrocl' are small but it is fine. The size of the entry cache is important mostly in userRoot. You may double check the actual values, after restart, with ldapsearch on 'cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config' and 'cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config'.

A step is to know what will be response time of DS to know if it is responsible of the hang or not. The logs and possibly pstack during those intermittent hangs will help to determine that.

regards
thierry

I tried increasing the nsslapd-dbcachesize and nsslapd-cachememsize in my QA envs to 200MB.

However, in my log files, I still see this message
[29/Aug/2016:04:34:37 +0000] - WARNING: ipaca: entry cache size 10485760B is less than db size 11599872B; We recommend to increase the entry cache size nsslapd-cachememsize.

these are my ldif files that i used to modify the values
modify entry cache size
cat modify-cache-mem-size.ldif
dn: cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-cachememsize
nsslapd-cachememsize: 209715200

modify db cache size
cat modfy-db-cache-size.ldif
dn: cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-dbcachesize
nsslapd-dbcachesize: 209715200

After modifying , i restarted IPA services

Is there anything else that I need to take care of as the logs suggest its still not getting the updated values

Thanks
Rakesh

    Hi Thierry,

    Coz of the issues we had to revert back to earlier running
    openldap in production.

    I have now done a few TCP related changes in sysctl.conf and have
    also increased the nsslapd-dbcachesize and nsslapd-cachememsize to
    200MB

    I will again start migrating hosts back to IPA and see if I face
    the earlier issue.

    I will update back once I have something


    Thanks,
    Rakesh

        However, Running libconv.pl <http://libconv.pl> gives me this

        ----- Recommendations -----

         1.  You have unindexed components, this can be caused from a
        search on an unindexed attribute, or your returned results
        exceeded the allidsthreshold. Unindexed components are not
        recommended. To refuse unindexed searches, switch
        'nsslapd-require-index' to 'on' under your database entry
        (e.g. cn=UserRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config).

         2.  You have a significant difference between binds and
        unbinds.  You may want to investigate this difference.


        I feel, this could be a pointer to things going slow.. and
        IPA hanging. I think i now have something that I can try and
        nail down this issue.

        On a sidenote, I was earlier running openldap and migrated
        over to Freeipa,

        Thanks

        Hi Rakesh,

            Having a reproducible test case would you rerun the
            command above.
            During its processing you may monitor DS process load
            (top). If it is high, you may get some pstacks of it.
            Also would you attach the part of DS access logs taken
            during the command.

            regards
