Hello,
I'm trying to migrate about 19 million entries from OpenLDAP 2.0 to the new 2.3. Conversion and such things are done, but inserting the data takes days.
I hope someone can point me to some helpful direction, because 22 Entries/sec is not too good, especially not for real life use...
I'm using the following to insert the data slapadd -q -v -c
My DB_CONFIG looks like this:
set_cachesize 1 524288000 1 set_lg_regionmax 262144 set_lg_bsize 2097152
It looks like from your stats that slapd has consumed all of the memory given to it, and now has to swap. You need to adjust your DB_CONFIG file so that there is more memory available to BDB, assuming of course you have enough RAM for that.
Since you have dual CPU's, you could set "tool-threads 2" in slapd.conf, as well.
Basically, if you want your slapadd to run quickly, you need to have enough RAM on the system, and the DB_CONFIG file configured, so that the DB can fit into RAM while being loaded. That's why my systems have 8GB and may expand to 16GB before too long as we continue to expand the data in the servers.
Is tool-threads documented somewhere?
