title: 389 directory server to create vlv index without stopping the server?
body: <p>Do you guys happen to know a way to create vlv index for 389 directory server without stopping the server ?</p>
  
  <p>according to <a href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.1/html/Administration_Guide/Creating_Indexes-Creating_VLV_Indexes.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">red hat doc</a>, to create the vlv index, I have 2 options:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>run script vlvindex, but it needs bring server down first.</li>
  <li>create a task with nsIndexVLVAttribute attribute. (but I can not find this attribute in my 389 ds. I'm guessing this is a specific feature for redhat directory)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Do you guys know a better way to create vlv index for 389 directory server? thanks a lot</p>
