Packet Receive Buffers Number of buffers that are available to the file system for holding
client requests until they can be processed. Also referred to as
communication buffers. The buffer size is fixed and is determined by
the network board. The server allocates buffers as needed within
minimum and maximum parameter values.
For a description of these parameters, see SET “Communications
Parameters” on page 192. You can set these parameter values in
MONITOR Available Options > Server Parameters >
Communications Parameters. You can also use the SET utility.
Directory Cache Buffers The number of buffers available to the file system to cache the most
frequently requested directory entries. The server allocates more
directory cache buffers as needed within minimum and maximum
parameter values.
For a description of these parameters, see SET “Directory Caching
Parameters for the Traditional File System” on page 235. You can
set these parameter values in MONITOR Available Options >
Server Parameters > Disk Caching Parameters. You can also use
the SET utility.
Maximum Service Processes Maximum number of processes (threads or task handlers) the
system will allocate to service client NCP
TM
requests.
The server creates more service processes as needed within
minimum and maximum parameters. Once memory is allocated for
service processes, it remains allocated even when no longer
required. Each service process requires 4 KB of RAM.
For a description of these parameters, see SET “Miscellaneous
Parameters” on page 210. You can increase the value of Maximum
Service Processes in MONITOR Available Options > Server
Parameters > Miscellaneous Parameters. You can also use the SET
utility.
