Attaching LDAP Data Sources to a Data Source Pool

A data source that is attached to a data source pool is called an attached data source. The properties of an attached data source determine the load balancing configuration of the data source pool. When you configure the weights of an attached data source, consider the weights of all of the attached data sources in a data source pool. Ensure that the weights work together as required. For information about how to configure weights for load balancing, see To Configure Weights for Load Balancing.

To Attach an LDAP Data Source to a Data Source Pool

You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

1. Attach one or more data sources to a data source pool.

   $ dpconf attach-ldap-data-source -h host -p port pool-name \ source-name [source-name ...]

2. (Optional) View the list of attached data sources for a given data source pool.

   $ dpconf list-attached-ldap-data-sources -h host -p port -E pool-name

   In this command, -E is optional, and modifies the display output to show one property value per line.

3. (Optional) View the key properties of the attached data sources for a given data source pool.

   $ dpconf list-attached-ldap-data-sources -h host -p port -v pool-name

   In this command, -v specifies verbose output. For example, view the properties of an example data source pool.

   $ dpconf list-attached-ldap-data-sources -h host1 -p 1389 -v My-pool Name add-weight bind-weight compare-weight ----------- ---------- ----------- -------------- datasource0 disabled disabled disabled datasource1 disabled disabled disabled delete-weight modify-dn-weight modify-weight search-weight ------------- ---------------- ------------- ------------- disabled disabled disabled disabled disabled disabled disabled disabled

4. (Optional) View the properties of an attached data source by using the following command syntax:

   $ dpconf get-attached-ldap-data-source-prop -h host -p port [-M unit] [-Z unit] \ pool-name source-name [property...]

   In this command, -M and -Z refer to the units in which you want data to be displayed. The M option specifies the unit of time. The value for -M can be M, w, d, h, m, s, or ms, to represent months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, or miliseconds. The -Z option specifies the data size unit. The value for -Z can be T, G, M, k, or b, to represent Terabytes, Gigabytes, Megabytes, kilobytes, or bytes.

   If you do not specify a property, all properties are displayed.

   The properties of an attached data source define the weight for each type of operation in load balancing. The default weights of an attached data source are as follows:

   add-weight : disabled bind-weight : disabled compare-weight : disabled delete-weight : disabled modify-dn-weight : disabled modify-weight : disabled search-weight : disabled
