To Configure Heap Memory Threshold

You can set threshold values for the dynamic memory footprint. You might need to set this threshold when Directory Server is running on a machine where resources are shared or sparse.

For information about memory sizing, see Directory Server and Memory in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.

You cannot use DSCC to perform this task. Use the command line, as described in this procedure.

This threshold can only be set on Solaris and Linux platforms.

By default, the heap-high-threshold-size and heap-low-threshold-size properties are undefined.

1. Set the maximum heap high memory threshold.

   $ dsconf set-server-prop -h host -p port heap-high-threshold-size:value

   where value is either undefined or a memory size expressed in gigabytes (G), megabytes (M), kilobytes (k) or bytes (b). The size you specify must be supported by your machine.

   For recommendations on the values to use for heap-high-threshold-size , see the server(5dsconf) man page.

2. Optionally, set the maximum heap low memory threshold .

   $ dsconf set-server-prop -h host -p port heap-low-threshold-size:value

   where value is either undefined or a memory size expressed in gigabytes (G), megabytes (M), kilobytes (k) or bytes (b). The size you specify must be supported by your machine.

   For recommendations on the values to use for heap-low-threshold-size , see the server(5dsconf) man page.
