Server utilities
Understand the behavior and usage of server utilities and the considerations for synchronizing the directory server instances.
For server utilities that support multiple directory instances
on a system, the -I parameter is optional for
any of the following conditions:
- If the IDS_LDAP_INSTANCE environment variable is set.
- If there is only one instance on the system.
Attention: When you create a directory server instance,
consider the following points.
- You must cryptographically synchronize the directory server instances
to obtain better performance, if you are using any of the following
features:
- Replication
- Distributed directory
- Import and export LDIF data between server instances
- You must cryptographically synchronize a directory server instance
with an existing server before you do any of the following actions:
- Start the second server instance.
- Run the idsbulkload command from the second server instance.
- Run the idsldif2db command from the second server instance.
