2.3 Hardware Requirements
Hardware requirements depend on the specific implementation of eDirectory.
For example, a base installation of eDirectory with the standard schema requires about 74 MB of
disk space for every 50,000 users. However, if you add a new set of attributes or completely fill in
every existing attribute, the object size grows. These additions affect the disk space, processor, and
memory needed.
Two factors increase performance: more cache memory and faster processors.
For best results, cache as much of the DIB Set as the hardware allows.
eDirectory scales well on a single processor. However, Novell eDirectory 8.8 takes advantage of
multiple processors. Adding processors improves performance in some areas—for example, logins
and having multiple threads active on multiple processors. eDirectory itself is not processor
intensive, but it is I/O intensive.
The following table illustrates typical system requirements for Novell eDirectory for Windows
2000:
Requirements for processors might be greater than the table indicates, depending upon additional
services available on the computer as well as the number of authentications, reads, and writes that
the computer is handling. Processes such as encryption and indexing can be processor intensive.
2.4 Forcing the Backlink Process to Run
Because the internal eDirectory identifiers change when upgrading to eDirectory, the backlink
process must update backlinked objects for them to be consistent.
Backlinks keep track of external references to objects on other servers. For each external reference
on a server, the backlink process ensures that the real object exists in the correct location and verifies
all backlink attributes on the master of the replica. The backlink process occurs two hours after the
database is open and then every 780 minutes (13 hours). The interval is configurable from 2 minutes
to 10,080 minutes (7 days).
After migrating to eDirectory, we recommend that you force the backlink to run by completing the
following procedure. Running the backlink process is especially important on servers that do not
contain a replica.
