glite-BDII_top - Updated to version 3.2.10-3
Description (See the patch #4548)
What's new
This update of the top level BDII enables support for OpenLDAP 2.4 and addresses the degradation problems seen in production.
The main problem addressed in this release is the fix for the performance degradation problem seen in production by some sites. For more details about this fix please see the relevant bug report. In order to fix this issue, OpenLDAP 2.4 is required and this release contains the necessary changes that enable this version to be used. Another performance improvement is the option to use a RAM disk for the database files.
Configuration
This release introduces three new YAIM variable that are have the following default values.
SLAPD_CONF=/etc/bdii/bdii-top-slapd.conf SLAPD=/usr/sbin/slapd2.4
BDII_RAM_DISK=yes
SLAPD_CONF is the location of the slapd.conf file. SLAPD is the full path of the slapd command. BDII_RAM_DISK is a boolean to enable/disable the use of the RAM disk.
Please note that if you set BDII_RAM_DISK=yes it is advisable to have at least 4GB of RAM in the machine, because a lot of space can be taken by the transaction log files of the LDAP DB (depending on the log level).
For further fine-tuning of the performance please consult: https://savannah.cern.ch/patch/?4548#comment29
