Managing Customized BDB configurations
Successfully maintaining a customized BDB configuration file
As noted in the Performance Tuning Guidelines for Large Deployments article, it may be necessary to create and maintain a customized DB_CONFIG file for a given LDAP installation. Zimbra has created an easy to follow methodology allowing these customizations to be preserved across upgrades, and to be easily transferred to new LDAP servers at installation time.
Primary database custom DB_CONFIG file
After installation of the zimbra-ldap package, the directory /opt/zimbra/openldap/var/openldap-data will exist. Inside that directory will be the DB_CONFIG file used for the main database.
For ZCS 6.0.2 and later
As the zimbra user, do the following:
mkdir -p /opt/zimbra/conf/custom/ldap cp /opt/zimbra/openldap/var/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG /opt/zimbra/conf/custom/ldap/DB_CONFIG
Make whatever modifications necessary for the local installation to this file. Then:
$ ldap stop $ rm /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db/DB_CONFIG $ ldap start
Your new customized DB_CONFIG will be installed. If further modifications are made to the custom DB_CONFIG file, you will need to stop ldap, remove the existing DB_CONFIG file as above, and then restart ldap to have the new custom one copied into place.
For ZCS 6.0.1 and previous
As the zimbra user, do the following:
cp /opt/zimbra/openldap/var/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG /opt/zimbra/openldap/var/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG.custom
Make whatever modifications necessary for the local installation to this file. Then:
$ ldap stop
On 5.0.x installs:
$ rm /opt/zimbra/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG
On 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 installs:
$ rm /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db/DB_CONFIG
Then
$ ldap start
Your new customized DB_CONFIG will be installed. If further modifications are made to the custom DB_CONFIG file, you will need to stop ldap, remove the existing DB_CONFIG file as above, and then restart ldap to have the new custom one copied into place.
Accesslog database custom DB_CONFIG file
It may also be necessary to make local modifications to the DB_CONFIG file used by the accesslog database on an LDAP master. This is almost identical to the method for maintaining a customized DB_CONFIG file for the main database.
For ZCS 6.0.2 and later
As the zimbra user, do the following on the ldap master:
cp opt/zimbra/openldap/var/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG.accesslog /opt/zimbra/conf/custom/ldap/DB_CONFIG.accesslog
Make whatever modifications necessary for the local installation to this file. Then:
$ ldap stop $ rm /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/accesslog/db/DB_CONFIG $ ldap start
The new customized DB_CONFIG file for the accesslog database will now be in place. If further modifications are made to the custom accesslog DB_CONFIG file, you will need to stop ldap, remove the existing DB_CONFIG file as above, and then restart ldap to have the new custom one copied into place.
For ZCS 6.0.1 and previous
As the zimbra user, do the following on the ldap master:
cd /opt/zimbra/openldap/var/openldap-data cp DB_CONFIG.accesslog DB_CONFIG.accesslog.custom
Make whatever modifications necessary for the local installation to this file. Then:
$ ldap stop
On 5.0.x installs:
$ rm /opt/zimbra/openldap-data/accesslog/db/DB_CONFIG
On 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 installs:
$ rm /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/accesslog/db/DB_CONFIG
$ ldap start
The new customized DB_CONFIG file for the accesslog database will now be in place. If further modifications are made to the custom accesslog DB_CONFIG file, you will need to stop ldap, remove the existing DB_CONFIG file as above, and then restart ldap to have the new custom one copied into place.
