To Tune a Remote Sun Directory Server

1. FTP or copy amtune.zip to the remote Sun Directory Server host.

   In the change mode section of amtune-env.properties file, if AMTUNE_TUNE_DS=true, then the amtune.zip file is automatically generated.

2. Unzip amtune.zip.

3. Set values for TOOL_HOME and JAVA_HOME.

   Solaris, Linux, and AIX

   <TOOLS_DIR>/bin/unix/amtune

   Windows

   <TOOLS_DIR>\bin\windows\amtune.bat

4. Edit the amtune-env.properties file to include Directory Server information.

5. Run the amtune tool with a password file for the Sun Directory Server Directory Manager.

   The Directory Server Directory Manager password must be inaccessible to non-owners and only readable by its owner . For example, you can run change the permissions mode of the password file by running the following command:

   chmod 400

   UNIX or Linux

   amtune

   Windows

   amtune.bat

   On Windows, you must also execute amtune.bat with a password file. But amtune.bat does not check its file permission on Windows.

   In CHANGE mode, if AMTUNE_TUNE_DS=true, then the amtune tool will restart the Sun Directory Server instance.

   If AMTUNE_TUNE_OS=true, then the amtune tool will tune the operating system kernel parameters and will recommend a system restart.
