Memory (bytes) (sortable)—The total memory, in bytes, used by the NLM. This value is a composite of Short

Term Memory, Semi-Permanent Memory, and Non-movable Cache Memory allocated by the NLM, plus the

sizes of the code and data sections of this instance of an NLM.

Description (sortable)—A brief description of the NLM.

Version (sortable)—The major and minor version numbers of the NLM.

Server Parameter page

The Server Parameter page includes a table of the NetWare set parameters. This table emulates the NetWare

SET

command.

NOTE:

Only the operator and administrator have the right to retrieve this server parameter information.

In the middle frame, server parameters are categorized by their features. When a category link is clicked from the

middle frame, only the server parameters that fit into this category show up in the frame on the right. The server

parameter table in the frame on the right is sorted by the Name value by default and the table displays the following

information:

Name—The name of the settable parameter.

Value—The current value of the parameter.

Range—The range of value can be set on the parameter. An Out of Range warning is given if the administrator

or operator tries to do an invalid set.

Description—A brief description of the NetWare set parameter.

The Set Parameter table enables the administrator and operator to remotely change the server operating system

configuration and parameter settings through the Web browser. The modifiable variable can be categorized as

follows:

String—The maximum length for the string field is the upper-limit settable length of the string. If the length of the

set string exceeds the defined maximum length, an Out of Range warning appears and the set is aborted.

Boolean—The OFF and ON radio buttons are used to set the Boolean type parameter. Click the radio button to

select either OFF or ON, and then click SET. The set is done.

Ticks—For the convenience of the administrator or operator, the Ticks-type parameter is calculated and

displayed as seconds. So when do a set, modify the amount of the seconds in the text field, and click SET. If the

seconds set is not in the range of the predefined seconds, and an Out of Range warning appears and the set is

aborted.

TimeOffset—In the format of +/- XX:XX:XX (hour:minute:second). To do a set, modify the value in the predefined

format in the text field, and click SET.

BlockShift—An integer typeset. Modify the value in the text field, and click SET.

Trigger—An integer typeset. Modify the value in the text field, and click SET.

In NetWare 4.x, all the sets done through command line or Monitor utility take effect immediately, but the sets are lost

when the server is rebooted. The Web Agent overcomes this drawback by writing the

SET

command in Autoexec.ncf

when a set is committed through the Web Agent browser so it is a permanent set. In NetWare 5.x, the

SET

command

is not added in the Autoexec.ncf, because the operating system can remember the set even after the reboot.

SET exceptions

In both NetWare4.x and NetWare 5.x, when the administrator or operator tries to do a SET on a variable that is

only settable through the Startup.ncf file, a

SET XXXXX=XXXX

line is added in the

Startup.ncf

file. Although, the

SET does not take effect until the remote server is restarted, when SET is clicked, a warning message appears.
In NetWare 5.x, when trying to do a lower-than-current-value SET on alert message nodes, an HTTP post error

warning appears. Be alert, because the operating system is denying this SET. If this SET is done through the command

line or Monitor utility, the same denial occurs.

Physical Partition page

The Physical Partition page displays a table of physical partitions for long-term storage devices contained by the host.

The table on the Physical Partition page is sorted by the Type value by default.

Type (sortable)—The type of this physical partition. The types listed can be:

NetWare

DOS

Subsystem specific to a NetWare operating system 82
