10.2. Tuning Directory Server For Importing a Large Number of Entries

When you import a large number of entries, operating system settings on the maximum number of user processes can limit the performance of Directory Server.
  • To temporarily increase the maximum number of processes, enter:
    # ulimit -u 32000
    When a user logs off, the changes are back to the default settings.
  • To permanently increase the maximum number of processes, see How to set ulimit values.
