Is there some formula or recommendation on determining what would be the optimal cache settings for a directory server (389-ds of course) with following sizes? I looked at the DS 10 Admin Guide online and am getting conflicting information. But the manual shows a table and suggests that the max size for the cn=config dbcache is 512MB. But I tried with 5GB and it appears to work fine with it, although over time start to see negative values (prob not enough cache) and roevicts while running the dbmon.sh script.
