Reconfiguring an NDPS Broker

Prerequisites

If the Resource Management Service cannot be enabled, check for one of
the following problems:
The Broker object does not have rights to access the RMS data
storage area (the default is NDPS\RESDIR\). Use NetWare
Administrator to grant the Supervisor right to the Broker for that
subdirectory.
The RMS data storage area has a directory name that is longer than
eight characters or includes invalid characters.
In most instances, the default configuration for the three support services it
provides will result in satisfactory performance. However, in certain
circumstances you might want to change that configuration. Here are a couple
of examples:
As you gain experience with your NDPS setup, you might want to
reconfigure the default properties assigned to the Broker.
If disk space on your volume is limited, you might want to move the
managed resources database accessed by the Resource Management
Service to a different volume on the same server or to a different server in
the same eDirectory tree where more disk space is available. (The default
location for the RMS resources is server\SYS:NDPS\RESDIR\)
To reconfigure a Broker, you must have at least Read, Write, and Modify
rights for the container where the Broker resides.
If you change the location of your Resource Management Service
database, you need to have rights to the new location.
If you change the location of your Resource Management Service
database, you need to have an existing Resource Management Service
database directory to point to when you specify the volume for the RMS
during this process. The path you specify must point to a directory that
currently exists and that already contains resources. (The RMS data
storage area must not have a directory name that is longer than eight
characters or includes invalid characters.) If you point to an empty
directory, you will receive an error message from the server when loading
