[389-users] Limit on number of databases per directory server instance

[Michael Gettes]

I believe there is no limitation in the code.  However, the limits will apply when it comes to CPU, memory, disk, network utilization, and workload.

If you are smart about what you do, you can put a lot onto a single server but you also have to watch it to ensure proper administration and maintenance of the environment.  There are always tradeoffs and “it depends” will apply to the workload you have.

hope this helps.
