Using ConsoleOne to Configure Novell Storage Services

Purpose
This timer lets you determine how
often (in seconds) NSS will rebalance
the amount of cache it uses according
to the total amount of memory on the
server. If you have difficulty loading
NLMs because of low memory, you
might want to lower this timer setting. A
lower setting forces NSS to rebalance
more often. If your server is stable, you
might want to increase this timer so
NSS does not work as hard; this will
ensure the cache remains balanced.
NSS checks the total number of cache
buffers to determine if the
CacheBalance percentage is met. It
then adjusts the timer to provide the
appropriate number of cache buffers.
The default is 30. The range is 1 to
3600.
This sets the flush time for modified
cache buffers in seconds. The default
is 1 second. The range is 1 to 3600
seconds.
This shows the cache buffer statistics. nss/CacheStats
This command lets you clear the
current statistics and start over. This is
useful for checking the results of
changes to the system.
