Creating a New Database for an Existing Suffix Using the Console
The following procedure describes adding a database to a suffix you have already
created:
1.
In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
2.
In the left pane, expand Data then click the suffix to which you want to add the
new database.
3.
Right-click the suffix and select New Database from the pop-up menu.
The “Create New Database” dialog box is displayed.
4.
In the “Create New Database” dialog box, enter a unique name for the
database.
This value cannot contain commas, tabs, an equals sign (=), asterisk (*),
backslash (\), forward slash (/), plus sign (+), quote (‘), double quote (“), or a
question mark (?). For example, you might name the new database
example2
.
5.
In the “Create database in” field, enter the path to the directory where you
want to store the new database. You can also click Browse to locate a directory
on your local machine.
By default, the directory stores the new database in the
/
usr/netscape/servers/slapd-
serverID
/db
directory.
6.
Click OK. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog to create the new database.
Creating a New Database for a Single Suffix From the Command
Line
Use the
ldapmodify
command-line utility to add a new database to your directory
configuration file. The database configuration information is stored in the
cn=ldbm
database,cn=plugins,cn=config
entry.
For example, you want to add a new database to the server
example1
. First, type
the following to change to the directory containing the
ldapmodify
utility:
cd
serverRoot
/shared/bin
NOTE To see the new suffix in the Directory tab, you first need to create a
root entry associated with the suffix. Refer to “Creating Directory
Entries,” on page 47.
