Current Service Processes Number of threads or task handlers that are currently allocated to
service client NCP requests.
As the number of client requests increases, the server creates more
service processes within minimum and maximum parameters. As
this value approaches the maximum number that can be created,
server performance will be adversely affected. An alert appears
when the maximum number is reached.
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.
Current Connections Number of current active connections. This includes both licensed
and unlicensed connections. Both licensed and unlicensed
connections are considered active connections. A license for a
NetWare network permits a user to connect to as many servers in
an eDirectory tree as needed. An unlicensed connection doesn’t
consume a license.
Connection licenses are no longer managed at the server level.
Under Novell Licensing Services (NLS), the licensable entity is a
NetWare network connection rather than a server connection. See
Understanding Novell Licensing Services in the Novell Licensing
Services Administration Guide.
You can view a list of active connections from MONITOR Available
Options > Connections. All connections described as licensed or
unlicensed, authenticated or Not Logged-In, are considered active
connections and are tracked by the server
Open Files Number of files currently being accessed by the server and by other
clients. Certain files, such as the hidden files that support eDirectory,
are always open.
