Server Memory Management Tools

NetWare^® provides several tools to help you manage and tune the memory system:

• NetWare Remote Manager (PORTAL.NLM) provides the ability to monitor the memory used in each of the following categories:
  • Original Cache Memory
  • Current Cache Memory
  • File System Memory
  • Reserved Swap Memory
  • Swap File Size
  • NLM Memory
  • Virtual Memory system

  You can also use NetWare Remote Manager to load and unload modules in to protected address spaces and change SET parameter values and access the server console to run MONITOR and execute any console commands.

  In most cases, NetWare Remote Manager is more useful than MONITOR when diagnosing server memory problems. For more information, see the NetWare Remote Manager Administration Guide.

• The MONITOR utility provides statistics that indicate how efficiently memory is being used by the server and individual modules. For more information, see MONITOR in Utilities Reference.
• Settable parameters and console commands let you tune the memory system to achieve optimal performance. For more information, see SET > Memory Parameters in Utilities Reference.
