Using SET
Although most default values of the server parameters don’t need to be
modified, you might increase the performance of your system by adjusting the
values of certain parameters. Suggestions for improving server performance
can be found in Optimizing the NetWare Server and Setting Server Parameter
Valu es in the Server Operating System Administration Guide.
Server parameter settings are persistent in NetWare
®
. If the server goes down,
any settings that you have made to tune your server for performance will not
be lost.
Displaying and Changing Current Settings
 If you type SET without a parameter, a list of numbered categories
appears. When you select a category, the current settings for the server
parameters in that category appear, along with a brief description of each
parameter, the range of valid values, and the default value.
 If you type SET with a parameter but no value, the current setting, range
of valid values, and a brief description of the parameter are displayed.
 If you type SET with a parameter and a value, the operating system is
reconfigured according to the specified value.
You can also use the MONITOR utility to modify server parameter values. See
“MONITOR” on page 103.
