Congestion Thresholds

Congestion thresholds ensure that the directory does not become overloaded, by preventing new operations from starting when there are insufficient resources.

• When the available disk space reaches the congested limit, add operations are no longer permitted, though modify, modify RDN (modrdn), search, read, and delete operations are allowed. The default limit is 500 Kbytes.

• When the database reaches the critical limit, only search, read, and delete operations are allowed, and add, modify, and modrdn operations are not permitted. The default limit is 200 Kbytes.

• The restrictions remain in force until the remaining disk space becomes greater than the back-to-normal limit. The default limit is 1000 Kbytes.

If your database reaches the congested limit, after deleting unnecessary entries, you must still regenerate the database to optimize the use of disk space. Refer to "Regenerating the Database".

Threshold values are given in Kbytes free on the disk holding the data store. The default location for the data store is /var/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/dbm.
