description
The number of service processes (threads or task
handlers) that are currently allocated to service client
NCP requests. As the number of requests from clients
increase, the server creates more service processes until
the maximum allocated is reached. When the maximum
is reached, server performance might degrade due to
insufficient number of service processes.
Number of licensed and unlicensed connections (both
are considered active connections). A license for a
NetWare network allows a user to attach to as many
servers in the NDS tree as needed. An unlicensed
connection does not use a license.
Number of files currently being accessed by the server
and other clients. Certain files, such as hidden files that
support Novell eDirectory, are always open.
