OpenDS Memory Configuration

By default openDS only gets a minimum of 128 MB and a maximum of 256 MB memory assigned ( -Xms128m -Xmx256m ). That is a bit low in large environments. You can check current settings like this:

sjoerd@ldapsrv:/opt/OpenDS-2.2.0/config>ps -ef | grep Open
    root 4063566       1 316   Mar 11      - 141937:27 /usr/java5/jre/bin/java -server -Xms128m -Xmx256m -Dorg.opends.server.scriptName=start-ds org.opends.server.core.DirectoryServer --configClass org.opends.server.extensions.ConfigFileHandler --configFile /opt/OpenDS-2.2.0/config/config.ldif

Settings can be adjusted in /opt/OpenDS-2.2.0/config: Original settings:

After changing the file you can activate the settings using the command dsjavaproperties:

sjoerd@ldapsrv:/opt/OpenDS-2.2.0/bin>sudo ./dsjavaproperties
The operation was successful.  The server commands will use the java arguments and java home specified in the properties file located in /opt/OpenDS-2.2.0/config/java.properties

To see that openDS is actually running with the new settings openDS needs a restart:

/opt/OpenDS-2.2.0/bin/stop-ds -D cn=manager -w <secret>
/opt/OpenDS-2.2.0/bin/start-ds

Set DB Cache

Use the following command to set the db cache to 50% so this will use 1 GB of RAM after the settings above are applied:

./dsconfig -h localhost -p 4444 -D "cn=manager" -w <password> -X -n set-backend-prop --backend-name userRoot --set db-cache-percent:50
