          Figure 10-26.  System Parameters 

Config File State 

This parameter is used to assist in configuration migration (from NetWare
3.01B) and is not user changeable.  The possible values are:

   1.  The default configuration shipped with the product.  Neither the
       user has made any changes with SCONSOLE nor has 3.01B migration
       been done with SCONSOLE.

   2.  The 3.01B configuration has been migrated with SCONSOLE.

   3.  The user has made changes with SCONSOLE and the NetWare/iX
       configuration parameters are assumed to be correct.

Shared Memory Size 

This parameter specifies the amount of memory that is set aside by the
host system for inter-process communication (IPC) between the NetWare
processes.

Change this parameter according to the available memory and the
performance needs of your network.  Increasing your shared memory size
increases your network performance.  Recommended configuration size is
1024 x 1024.

Shared Memory Key 

When NetWare creates a shared memory segment this parameter is assigned
as an access key to the shared memory segment.  The number (or key) is
given to the host system by NetWare to ensure that no other process will
use that specific area of shared memory.

Change this parameter if another process is using the same number for a
shared memory key.

Priority 

The default is 15.  For the first release, this field is only a
placeholder.

This parameter sets the priority of NetWare processes within the host
environment.  This determines how much CPU time is given to NetWare
processes.  The range for this number is 0 to 40; however, we recommend
that you do not set this number below 15, as lower settings can cause
priority conflicts with other host processes.

Server Name 

This is the name used in all configuration and address references to the
NetWare file server.  Change the server name parameter to change the name
of the file server.  Each reference to the file server in the network
setup also has to be changed when you change this parameter.  Specify a
name up to 40 characters.

NW/iX Username 

This is the MPE/iX logon on name (security persona) that the product uses
to run.  All files created by a NetWare user have this username as the
MPE/iX creator.  This parameter is not user changeable.

Console Flag 

This flag specifies whether file server error messages are displayed
on the file server console (which is the device you designate
with the Console Device parameter).  Regardless of the setting
of this flag, file server error messages are saved in the
/usr/netware/sys/system/sys..4log.err file, which you can view with
SYSCON.

Set the console flag to ACTIVE to send file server error messages to the
console device.  Set this flag to INACTIVE if you do not want error
messages sent to the console device.

Console Device 

This parameter specifies which host device is designated as the file
server console and, therefore, which device displays the file server
error messages.

You send file server error messages to the console device by
activating the Console Flag parameter.  Regardless of the setting
of this flag, all file server error messages are saved in the
/usr/netware/sys/system/sys..4log.err file, and can be viewed with
SYSCON.
