- Advance NetWare/86 Version 2.0
- Memory Requirements
-
- The NetWare/86 2.0 Installation Manual states on page 4-60 the
- following:
-
- "A personal computer to be used as a non-dedicated file server
- MUST have 640K of memory. Of this amount, 384 will be used
- for the NetWare /86 operating system."
-
- It should be noted that this is only the bare minimum that the
- operating system will run under. Anything less than this will cause
- the error message "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO SUPPORT OS." 384K
- of RAM could support a single 10 meg drive if all system parameters
- were set to the absolute minimums.
-
- When the booting up your OS with any configuration and memory
- errors occur, it may be necessary to increase the memory parameter.
- This should be done in increments of 16K.
-
- All condititons can effect memory and it may be necessary to make
- other adjustments. The following guidelines will help in conserving
- precious memory:
-
- 1.Each file handle configured will use 40 bytes. Only configure for
- handles that will be used.
-
- 2.Do not make directory sizes any larger than needed. Directory
- entries will use memory for hashing and caching even though
- they are not being used. Directory sizes can be increase if
- needed later.
-
- 3.If you wish to use large drives on your system, it is advisable
- to run a dedicated server.
-
- 4.Caching may be disabled if constraints do not require it. There
- will be some decrease in performance.
