Global Database Cache Information
The Global Database Cache Information table in the Directory Server Console
contains the following information:
Started Indicates the number of operations initiated by this connection.
Completed Indicates the number of operations completed by the server for this
connection.
Bound as Indicates the distinguished name used by the client to bind to the server. If
the client has not authenticated to the server, the server displays
not
bound
in this field.
Read/Write Indicates whether the server is currently blocked for read or write access to
the client. Possible values include:
• Not blocked. Indicates that the server is idle, actively sending data to the
client, or actively reading data from the client.
• Blocked. Indicates that the server is trying to send data to the client or
read data from the client, but cannot. The probable cause is a slow
network or client.

Table Header Description
Hits Indicates the number of times the server could process a request by
obtaining data from the cache rather than by going to the disk.
Tries The total number of requests performed on your directory since server
startup.
Hit Ratio The ratio of cache tries to successful cache hits. The closer this number is to
100% the better.
Pages read in Indicates the number of pages read from disk into the cache.
Pages written out Indicates the number of pages written from the cache back to disk.
Read-only page evicts Indicates the number of read-only pages discarded from the cache to make
room for new pages. Pages discarded from the cache have to be written to
disk, possibly affecting server performance. The lower the number of page
evicts the better.
