Rack-Mounted Directory Server Configurations

This chapter describes rack-mounted directory server configuration, which provides high availability of a directory server. This configuration involves running multiple directory server instances on different hardware nodes. The directory servers are connected to the same directory store, which is an Oracle9i Database Server.

This chapter contains these topics:

• About Rack-Mounted Directory Server Configurations

• Architecture of the Rack-Mounted Directory Server Configuration

• How Failover Works in a Rack-Mounted Directory Server Environment

• Metadata Synchronization in a Rack-Mounted Directory Server Environments

• Rules for Managing a Rack-Mounted Directory Server Environment

• Installation of a Rack-Mounted Directory Server

  Note: This chapter describes a high availability configuration for directory servers. It does not address high availability for database servers that store directory data. For the latter, use one of the standard high availability configurations for database servers such as Oracle Real Applications Clusters or Data Guard.
