Viewing System Resources
Resource tags are used to track things like allocated memory, screens, and
packet receive buffers. When an NLM program wants to check out or allocate
a resource from the system, it passes in a resource tag to the system and the
resource tag is updated to show how much of the resource is in use. When the
resource is returned to the system, the resource tag is again updated to reflect
the change. When an NLM program is unloaded, the resource tags are also
used to ensure that the NLM program returned all of the system resources that
it was using.
To view the resource tags used by the system, access the System Resource
page by clicking the System Resources link in the navigation frame.
From the System Resource page, you can do the following:
 View a list of all the Resource tags in use at any given time
 Access the details of a resource
To view the details of a resource, click the resource name.
A list is displayed that is sorted by NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) and
then by number in use. The items displayed are a short name for the NLM,
the NLM description, the resource tag description, and the amount of the
resource that is checked out to that resource tag.
Viewing NetWare Registry Information
The NetWare registry is a database of setup and configuration information that
determines how the NetWare server and applications on this server will run.
To view key information from the NetWare registry for this server, view
operational information, run the consistency checker, and flush the registry,
access the Registry page by clicking the NetWare Registry link in the
navigation frame.
Key information shows keys and values for your server, performance, and
other dynamic data.
Operational information shows the overall details about the NetWare registry
for your server.
If any problems are noted when you run the consistency checker, contact a
Novell support provider for actions to take.
Flushing the registry lets you make changes and save them to disk
immediately rather than waiting 30 seconds for them to be copied to disk.
