+= Starting and Stopping Directory Instances =
+
+The following scripts should be used to start and stop directory instances:
+
+        ~iplanet/local/ldap/scripts/directory_start.ksh
+        ~iplanet/local/ldap/scripts/directory_stop.ksh
+
+Usage:
+        ~iplanet/local/ldap/scripts/directory_start.ksh <Inst>
+        e.g. ~iplanet/local/ldap/scripts/directory_start.ksh Test
+
+It is important to utilize the stop|start scripts as they establish 
+runtime environment necessary to the correct functioning of the kerberos 
+plugin installed in the various directory instances.
+
+Power Broker can also be used to stop and start directory instances though 
+it is no longer necessary:
+
+        pbrun Teststart-slapd
+        pbrun Teststop-slapd
+
+When Power Broker is invoked, it executes the directory_start|stop.ksh 
+scripts referenced above.  Power Broker support exists is because we used to 
+utilize ports < 1024 which require root access to start.  That is no 
+longer necessary; all directory instances are now associated with ports 
+above 1024.
+
+System startup scripts also invoke the directory_start|stop.ksh scripts.
+
+Before restarting a stopped directory, attempt to determine the reason 
+the directory is down.  The best place to look for possible error 
+conditions are the iPlanet errors* logs in the following locations:
+
+        /e01/iplanet/servers/slapd-<server><Inst>/logs/
+
+Depending on what caused the directory to shut down, startup can take 
+a substantial amount of time while the directory instance is being 
+"recovered".
+
+After starting a directory, it pays to confirm that the director has started 
+successfully and is serving requests.  The directory_start.ksh script performs 
+as 'ps -ef' with grep for the specific directory process.  Directory processs 
+are named as follows:
+
+        slapd-<server><Inst>
+
+In addition, you can perform a quick directory search using the following command:
+
+        ldap_query<Inst> "(ou=routing)" dn
+
+Replace <Inst> with Test, Prep or Prod (case sensitive).
