Modify the upper limit of TCP ephemeral port range.

TCP Large Window Option value

Enable or disable Large Window support. This option does not change the behaviour of existing connections.

TCP Secure ISN value

Enable or disable the use of a secure algorithm for generating TCP Initial Sequence Numbers. This option does not change the behaviour of existing connections.

IPX Router Broadcast Delay number

Specify how long (in ticks) the IPX router should delay between SAP/RIP broadcast packets.

Use Old Watchdog Packet Type value

Use type 0 instead of type 4 for watchdog packets. Some old router hardware will filter out type 4 IPX packets that can cause a client to lose its connection to the sever when it sits inactive for a few minutes..

Number of Watchdog Packets number

Specify the number of unanswered watchdog packets that the server sends to a workstation before closing its connection.

Delay Before First Watchdog Packet time

Specify the amount of time the server waits without receiving a request from a workstation before sending out the first watchdog packet to that station.

Maximum Packet Receive Buffers number

Specify the maximum number of packet receive buffers the operating system can allocate.

Before increasing this parameter, use MONITOR to view the server's use of packet receive buffers and service processes.

If the number of packet receive buffers is at maximum, increase this parameter in increments of 10 until you have one packet receive buffer per workstation.

If you have EISA or microchannel bus master boards in your server, increase this parameter to provide at least five buffers per board.

If the board is producing No ECB available count errors, provide 10 buffers per board. Use MONITOR (LAN/WAN Drivers) to determine whether the board is producing errors.

If the number of allocated service processes is at maximum, you can increase the Maximum Service Processes parameter to decrease the need for more packet receive buffers.

The value of this parameter should be greater than the value of the Minimum Packet Receive Buffers parameter. If it is less, the system increases the value to match that of the Minimum Packet Receive Buffers parameter.

This parameter can be set in the appropriate startup file.

Maximum Physical Receive Packet Size number

Specify the maximum size of packets that can be transmitted on the network.

The default allows 2 KB (data with the packet header). If you use token ring or Ethernet boards, the default is acceptable.

If some of your network boards transmit more than 512 bytes of data per packet, set this parameter for the largest packet size.

Maximum Interrupt Events number

External references are local IDs assigned to users when they access other servers. When users no longer have access, the external references should be removed.

NDS Synchronization Restrictions value, version_number_list

Specify which versions of eDirectory the server can synchronize with.

To determine what version is currently loaded on a server, enter modules at the server prompt. The eDirectory version number is displayed under the heading ds.nlm.

If this parameter is set to Off, the server synchronizes with all versions available.

If this parameter is set to On, the server synchronizes only with those versions specified as parameters to the On value.

NDS Janitor Interval number_in_minutes

Specify the interval (in minutes) at which the janitor process is executed. The janitor process is executed as soon as you change this value and then recurs at the specified interval.

The janitor process cleans up unused records, reclaims disk space, and purges objects flagged for deletion.

NDS Bindery QOS mask number

Select which objects should be subject to bindery QOS delay. This switch should be used with the NDS Bindery QOS delay switch.

NDS Backlink Interval number_in_minutes

Specify the interval (in minutes) at which backlink consistency checking is performed. Backlink consistency checking is executed as soon as you change this value. It then recurs at the specified interval.

A backlink indicates that an object in a replica has an ID on a server where the replica doesn't exist.

This process creates needed backlinks and deletes unnecessary ones.

NDS Bootstrap Address address

Allow eDirectory to operate properly in the absence of SLP. When SLP is not available to advertise servers and partitions, the local server uses this value to set the bootstrap address that the server would use to find its tree and authenticate to it.

Defaults apply to any field not present, where the default is current value.

Auto scan for devices value

Automatically scan for devices when a HAM is loaded. If turned off, operator must issue a Scan for New Devices on the command line before the devices will be seen.

Sequential Elevator Depth number

Set the maximum elevator depth for sequential requests.

Media Manager sends the number of sequential requests up to this value to the same device. When the device contains this number of requests and another device in the mirror group is empty, Media Manager begins sending requests to the idle device.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Mirrored Devices Are Out of Sync Message Frequency time

Set the frequency (in minutes) for checking out-of-sync devices.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Concurrent Remirror Requests number

Set the number of remirror requests per Mirror object.

Ignore Disk Geometry value

Create nonstandard and unsupported partitions.

If you set this parameter to On before modifying or creating a partition, the software ignores disk geometry when creating the partition. This allows you to create nonstandard partitions.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Enable Hardware Write Back value

Enable hardware write back, if supported.

Hardware write back means that I/O write requests might be cached at the device and succeeded before data is committed to the media. Hardware write back usually improves write performance.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Auto LFVMount

Control whether any local FAT volumes not recognized by DOS are automatically mounted and assigned a local drive letter when they are detected.

On automatically mounts and assigns a local drive letter when the drive is detected.

When set to Off, you must use the LFVMOUNT comand to manually mount local FAT volumes.

Server Log File State number

Control what happens when the sys$log.err file is larger than the size specified by the Server Log File Overflow Size parameter.

0 Leave sys$log.err as is 1 Delete sys$log.err 2 Rename sys$log.err

Default: 3

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Boot Error Log value

Specify which error messages from the console will be saved in the boot$log.err file.

If you set this parameter to On, all error messages displayed on the console will be saved in boot$log.err.

If you set this parameter to Off, only error messages displayed during the boot procedure will be saved in boot$log.err.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Auto Restart Down Timeout number

When the server tries to go down after an abend, it sets a timeout just in case there is a problem going down. Specify the amount of time (in seconds) that the server waits before automatically restarting.

Auto Restart After Abend value

Specify the system's automatic response to an abend.

Default: 1

For values 1, 2, or 3 to take effect, the Developer Option parameter described in Miscellaneous Parameters must be set to Off.

If the server is to be shut down, the system sends a message every two minutes to warn all connections.

To configure the amount of time the system waits before shutting down the server, use the Auto Restart After Abend Delay Time parameter.

After an abend, the screen displays information about the abend. This information is sent to the abend.log file on the c: drive. After the server is shut down and restarted, the abend.log file is transferred to sys:system.

NLS Search Type

Specify the scope of a license certificate search.

0 Search to the root of the tree

1 Search to the root of the partition

Default: 0

You must set this parameter in either the startup.ncf or autoexec.ncf file for the changes to be persistent.

Restart Server on Address Space Cleanup Failure value

Specify which actions to take during a server cleanup.

When this parameter is On and the server is unable to completely clean up an address space after a memory protection error, then the server reacts according to the Auto Restart settings. (See the Auto Restart parameters in Error Handling Parameters.)

When this set parameter is Off, address spaces with cleanup failures will be isolated.

Memory Protection Restart Count number

Specify the number of restarts allowed during the Memory Protection No Restart Interval.

This parameter works in conjunction with the Memory Protection No Restart Interval parameter.

The default value is 1, meaning that if more than one protection fault occurs in an address space, then the address space will be restarted only once.

If you want to configure NetWare to allow two restarts during a three-minute period, then you should set the Memory Protection Restart Count to 2 and the Memory Protection No Restart Interval to 3.

Memory Protection Fault Cleanup value

Enable the server to clean up a protected address space that has faulted.

If this parameter is on and a protected address space faults, the server removes the address space and its NLM programs and returns the resources to the system.

If this parameter is off and a protected address space faults, the server does not remove the address space or return resources to the system. The situation is left to the abend recovery mechanism.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Garbage Collection Interval number

Specify the maximum time between garbage collections.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Reserved Buffers Below 16 Meg number

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Allow Audit Passwords value

Specify whether passwords can be used to identify auditors.

Command Line Prompt Time Out time

Specify how long (in seconds) an .ncf file waits before executing the default response to an optional command.

An optional command in an. ncf file is preceded by a question mark (?). The question mark causes the file to prompt you to execute the command. For information about optional commands in .ncf files, see Using Server Batch Files in the NW 6.5 SP8: Server Operating SystemAdministration Guide.

Replace Console Prompt with Server Name value

Control whether the console prompt is replaced with the NetWare server name.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Classic Work to do Pre-check Flag

When a classic work to do is scheduled, this flag causes the scheduler to verify if the work to do is scheduled. If it's on the scheduled list, the operating system will trap.

Halt System on Invalid Parameters value

Specify whether to stop the system when invalid parameters are detected.

On You want the system to stop when an invalid parameter or condition is detected

Off You want the system to display an alert and continue running when an invalid parameter or condition is detected

Default: Off

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Display Old API Names value

Control messages about outdated API functions from earlier versions of NetWare. This parameter can be used as a debugging tool.

On Use if you write your own modules and you are upgrading your NetWare modules to use newer APIs

Off Use if you aren't upgrading modules

Default: Off

The following types of messages appear when a module is loaded that uses the obsolescent APIs:

Module is using old API: SetInterruptVector Module is using old API: ReturnPermanentMemory Module is using old API: AllocateReturnablePermMemory

If you receive messages such as these, contact the vender of the module.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Also, not all older API functions have been replaced—many of them are still in use.

Developer Option value

Control whether options associated with a developer environment are enabled.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Display EOI value

Control whether a delay is inserted before the End of Interrupt (EOI). Specify the number of spurious interrupts that are allowed to happen before inserting a delay before the EOI.

Setting this parameter to On allows a delay to be inserted prior to the EOI. The delay is inserted only if the number of spurious interrupts reaches the value set by the Delay EOI Threshold SET parameter.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Display Lost Interrupts Threshold number

Set the minimum number of lost interrupts per second that must be detected before a lost interrupt alert message is displayed on the system console.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Display Lost Interrupt Alerts value

Control alert messages about lost interrupts.

A lost interrupt occurs when a driver or board requests a service with an interrupt call and then drops the request before the processor can respond.

Lost interrupts generate the following message: Interrupt controller detected a lost hardware interrupt.

This message indicates a hardware or driver problem that could degrade performance.

Unload all drivers and then reload them one at a time to determine which driver has a problem. Then contact the vender of the driver.

Set the parameter to Off while you are waiting for a resolution.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Global Pseudo Preemption value

Specify whether or not all threads on the server that use the Traditional File System will also use pseudo pre-emption.

Set this parameter to On if you rely on pseudo pre-emption to enforce blocking for threads.

Maximum Service Processes number

Specify the maximum number of service processes that the operating system can create.

You can view the number of service processes in Novell Remote Manager or MONITOR.

Decrease this parameter value temporarily if the server is low on memory. If the server is always low on memory, add more RAM for memory.

Increase this parameter value if the number of service processes is at the maximum.

Increasing this number helps only if more than 20 requests are being delayed simultaneously for a disk I/O to be completed.

System Threshold number

Adjust the load balancing threshold for multiprocessor servers.

This number controls the main value used in calculating thread shedding for load balancing across multiple processors. The optimum value has been preset by Novell.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Auto Start Processors value

Start secondary processors on startup.

On Secondary processors are automatically started when the Platform Support Module (PSM) is loaded.

Off Secondary processors are not automatically loaded on bootup. When this is the case, the command START PROCESSORS must be used at the console prompt to activate secondary processors.

This parameter is preferably set in the startup.ncf file.

NCP Exclude IP Addresses values

Specify IP addresses over which NCP is disabled. All other IP addresses on this server will accept NCP traffic.

Addresses listed in this setting have priority over the values set in the "Set NCP Include IP Addresses" command.

You can set this parameter in the startupfile.

NCP over UDP values

Enable or disable NCP over UDP.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Minimum NCP TCP receive window to advertise number

Set the minimum receive window to advertise on NCP connections.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Enable zero task checking. Enable packet checking for valid use of task zero.

Level 2 OpLocks Enabled value

Allow or disallow level 2 (shared) oplocks.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

NCP Protocol Preferences value

When multiple protocols are supported, specify the order in which eDirectory™ selects a protocol to use when communicating with other servers in the replica.

For example, the following command instructs eDirectory to try TCP first and IPX second when it communicates with another server:

SET NCP PROTOCOL PREFERENCES TCP IPX

If only one protocol is supported, that protocol is used by eDirectory, no matter what values are specified for this parameter.

If multiple protocols are supported but no value is specified for this parameter, eDirectory uses the protocols in the order in which they are loaded.

Display NCP Bad Component Warnings value

Control whether NCP bad component alert messages are displayed.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Display NCP Bad Length Warnings value

Control whether or not to display NCP bad length alert messages.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

start of daylight savings time date_and_time

Specify a local date and time when the switch to daylight savings time should occur. Formats include a simple date and time or rules introduced by a open paren "( ".

For example: April 4 1993 2:0:0 am, (April 4 2:0:0 am), (April Sunday < 1 2:0:0 am), or (April Sunday First 2:0:0 am).

Only rules can reschedule for the next year. You must set both the start and end dates before either will be scheduled.

The settings will not be saved in the NetWare Registry.

daylight savings time offset [+|-] hour:minute:second

Specify the offset applied in time calculations when daylight savings time is in effect.

Issuing this command causes UTC time to be recalculated from local time.

The offset applied in time calculations when daylight savings time is in effect. The default is +1:00:00 (one hour). Issuing this command causes UTC time to be recalculated from local time. +0:00:00 to +0:00:00

The settings will not be saved in the NetWare Registry.

timesync debug flag number

Specify whether Timesync opens or logs a debug screen to view or log debug information.

To enable the debug screen and log it to timesync.log (located in sys:\system), use

set timesync debug=15

To enable the debug screen only and disable the log, use

set timesync debug=7

To disable both the debug screen and logging, use

set timesync debug=0

For more information, see Section 1.56, FLAG.

timesync polling interval number

Specifiy the time interval (in seconds) before the next polling begins.

timesync restart flag

Specify whether Timesync restarts.

When set to On, Timesync restarts.

timesync synchronization radius value_in_seconds

Specify the maximum tolerance (in seconds).

If the offset is less than this value (in milliseconds), Timesync remains in synchronization.

timesync time source IP_address

Specify that this server contacts the servers in this list as time providers.

Each time server (IP address, DNS name) in this list is separated by a semicolon ( ; ).

For example:

MyServer:123;

where the semicolon ( ; ) clears the MyServer list and specifies that MyServer is the NetWare (NTP) time source.

standard time offset time zone IST [Time_offset_from_IST]

Offset (in hours) from Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).

The time zone string indicates the abbreviated name of the time zone, the offset from UTC, and the alternate abbreviated time zone name to be used when daylight savings time is in effect.

Issuing this command causes UTC time to be recalculated from local time.

timesync NTP Client port number

Specify the port that the NTP Client uses to make an NTP Time Request.

default time server type primary|single|secondary|reference

Specify the default time synchronization server type.

This parameter can be overridden by separate time synchronization parameters.

Supported values: Secondary, Primary, Reference, Single Can be overridden by separate time synchronization parameters.

Default: Secondary

Read Ahead Enabled value

Specify whether the system conducts background reads to cache in advance of blocks soon to be requested.

Read-aheads can happen only when sequential file accesses are occurring.

Minimum File Cache Buffers number

Set the minimum number of cache buffers the operating system can allow for file caching.

All memory not allocated for other processes is given to disk cache memory to use for file and directory caching. As memory is requested for other processes, the server gives up cache buffers.

This limit specifies when the server must stop giving file cache buffers to other processes.

If you set the minimum too high, other processes might not be able to allocate necessary memory resources.

For example, a module could fail to load because the server is out of available memory.

Dirty Disk Cache Delay Time time

Specify how long (in seconds) the system keeps a write request (that does not fill a cache buffer) in memory before writing the request to disk.

Increasing the time makes disk writing more efficient if your users make many small write requests.

Decreasing the time can reduce performance drastically and reduces the chances of losing data only slightly.

Dirty Directory Cache Delay Time time

Specify how long (in seconds) the system keeps a directory table write request in memory before writing it to disk.

Increasing the delay time gives slightly quicker performance but increases the probability of the directory tables becoming corrupted.

Decreasing the delay time slightly reduces the chance of directory tables becoming corrupted, but can reduce performance slightly.

A setting of 0 reduces performance dramatically.

Directory Cache Buffer NonReferenced Delay time

Specify how long a directory entry must be cached before it can be overwritten by another directory entry.

Increasing this parameter speeds up directory access. The system allocates more directory cache buffers, and a directory is more likely to be cached in memory.

Decreasing this parameter slows directory access but also reduces the need for directory cache buffers.

Minimum Directory Cache Buffers number

Specify the minimum number of cache buffers that the system can allocate for directory caching.

The number needs to be high enough that directory searches can be done quickly, but no higher than necessary.

If the system doesn't need the minimum number of directory cache buffers, the buffers can't be reallocated to file caching. The unneeded portion remains unused.

If the server responds slowly to directory searches after it is booted, monitor the number of directory cache buffers usually allocated for directory caching.

If the number is significantly higher than this limit, consider increasing the limit to remove the delay time that normally occurs while the server is self-configuring. Use MONITOR to view the current statistics.

This parameter can be set in the startup.ncf file.

Maximum Number of Directory Handles number

Specify the maximum number of directory handles available for each connection.

A directory handle is a version of the directory access rights that is held in cache memory. Caching the access rights speeds mapping to the rights.

Each time a connection accesses a file or directory, a directory handle is allocated (up to the total specified by this parameter).

Automatically Repair Bad Volumes value

Specify whether VREPAIR runs automatically on a volume that fails to mount.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Allow Deletion of Active Directories value

Specify whether a directory can be deleted when another connection has a drive mapped to it.

Maximum Extended Attributes per File or Path number

Limit the number of extended attributes that can be assigned to a file or path (subdirectory). This limit applies to all volumes on the server.

Fast Volume Mounts value

Increase the speed at which volumes are mounted.

The operating system checks only the most important fields during the mounting process. Use this parameter only if volumes were dismounted normally.

This parameter can be set in the startup.ncf file.

Maximum Subdirectory Tree Depth number

Specify how many levels of subdirectories the system supports.

This parameter can be set in the startup.ncf or in the autoexec.ncf file, or at the server console.

Increase the number if your applications support trees deeper than 25.

Decrease the number if your applications support only shallow tree structures.

(Some DOS applications can't support more than 10 levels if the subdirectories have 11-character names.)

Volume Low Warning Reset Threshold number

Control how much disk space (in blocks) must be freed up before a second warning is issued that the volume is almost full. (The first warning is controlled by the Volume Low Warn All Users parameter.)

When a volume is almost full, it can hover at its warning threshold as users create and delete files.

This parameter controls the minimum amount of space that must be made available above the threshold before the warning message disappears.

Given these conditions, the volume must gain at least 1 MB of free space (for a total of 2 MB of free space) and then dip below the 1 MB threshold before the system sends another warning that the volume is almost full.

Turbo FAT Re-Use Wait Time time

Specify how long a turbo FAT buffer remains in memory after an indexed file is closed.

Once the wait-time value has passed, the system can allocate the buffer to another indexed file.

Increase the wait time if

Decrease the wait time if you want the memory released immediately to service the next file that needs to be indexed.

When a program randomly accesses a file that contains more than 64 FAT entries, the system builds a turbo FAT index for the file so that information is accessed quickly. (NetWare indexes any randomly accessed file with 64 FAT entries.)

The system doesn't immediately delete the index from its buffer when the file is closed.

Having the turbo FAT index in memory makes reopening the file and accessing information faster.

Auto Mount Mirrored Volume Containing Inactive Device value

Specify whether to automatically mount a volume detected to have a mirrored partition and an inactive device associated with it.

This parameter can be set in the startup.ncf file.

Maximum Record Locks Per Connection number

Control how many record locks a client connection can use at one time. (Use MONITOR to view how many record locks each connection is using.)

Increase the value of this parameter when an application can't lock enough records and fails.

Decrease the value of this parameter if one or more client connections are using an excessive amount of server resources.

Maximum Record Locks number

Control how many record locks the operating system can handle. (Use MONITOR to view how many record locks each client connection is using on that server.)

Increase the value of this parameter if users have problems running applications and receive messages indicating that not enough record locks are available.

Decrease the value of this parameter if client connections are using an excessive amount of server resources.

Volume Log File State number

Control what happens when the vol$log.err file is larger than the size specified by the Volume Log File Overflow Size parameter.

• 0 Leave vol$log.err as is
• 1 Delete vol$log.err
• 2 Rename vol$log.err

Default: 1

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Volume Log File Overflow Size number

Specify the maximum size of the vol$log.err file before the action specified by the Volume Log File State parameter occurs.

You can set this parameter in the startup.ncf file.

Auto TTS Backout Flag value

Specify whether a server with transactional files will automatically back out of incomplete transactions when the server is restarted.

On The server backs out incomplete transactions when booting Off The server waits for you to answer a prompt before it backs out of transactions

Default: On

You must set this parameter in the startup.ncf file. You cannot set the parameter at the command line.

TTS UnWritten Cache Wait Time time

Specify how long a block of transactional data can be held in memory.

Some blocks of transactional data wait for other transactional blocks to be written first.

If one of these blocks reaches its maximum time limit, other write requests are held up and this block is written to disk.
