Dear all,

thanks or your kind and quick help so far. However, there are still questions 
open from our side, and your help in answering them is greatly appreciated. We 
currently have the following setup:
2 * Dell PowerEdge R815/II with 64 GB Memory and  2 * AMD Opteron 6172 with 12 
Cores, 512k Cache and 2.1 GHz, 4x600 GB SAS
ApacheDS 2.0 M15
Oracle JVM 1.7.0-25
Memory parameters for the ApacheDS JVM: -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m 
30 nbthreads to handle the LDAP requests
Indexes on all attributes that are searched (created BEFORE the data was 
loaded, size 10000)
Ca. 20000 objects in the central partition
Cache size for the partition: 10000
Do you have any indication as to how many parallel BIND sessions and searches 
we can support with such a setup? Is there a performance whitepaper of any sort 
for ApacheDS (or similar information)? If so: where can we find it?

Additionally, we are experiencing regular trouble with replication in our Multi 
Master Replication setup: If any of the servers is offline for a longer period 
of time, it will crash when booting up again and will delete all information in 
the partition that is being replicated. Just this weekend, the havoc was even 
greater: the partition was totally destroyed AND the server that was online all 
the time refused to start ApacheDS again, because the partition data on disk 
was destroyed.

Of course, we followed the published documentation when setting up the servers 
and have unique replication IDs for our servers, etc. The system times are 
synchronized via NTP.

We where able to restore the data from backup, but this clearly disqualifies 
ApacheDS as a production ready system.

Can you give us any hints as to avoid such a catastrophic scenario in the 
future?

Your help is greatly appreciated.


Kind regards



Jörg Maaß
