This README file of NCP.ZIP accompanies MAXNCP.NLM for NetWare v3.10a.
The following files are included:
MAXNCP.NLM 1581 10-17-90
PATCHMAN.NLM 4174 10-29-90
PATCHMAN.DOC 3300 11-01-90
If a user has an application that uses all that is available of the NCP
search table, this patch is a good work around until you go to 3.11 or
get a later revision of the application.
This patch is designed for Netware 386 version 3.10a. The patch manager
NLM must be loaded prior to loading MAXNCP.NLM. Loading MAXNCP.NLM will
increase the upper limit of NCP searches from 1000 to 5000. After loading
the NLM, use the SET command to increase the NCP search limit variable.
Example at the server console type:
load patchman (if patchman has not been loaded)
load maxncp (resets the upper limit for ncp searches)
set Maximum Outstanding NCP Searches=5000
WARNING !!!!!!!!!
Increasing the number of NCP searches will decrease the ammount of RAM
available to NETWARE. Using this patch will either decrease your number of
connections to less than 100 or require that additional RAM be added.
The following formula will help in determining how much additional
RAM will be needed to maintain the same amount of working RAM on your
server:
24000 x (Maximum Outstanding NCP Searches / 1000) x Number of Stations
EXAMPLE:
For 100 stations and 5000 NCP Searches, the additional RAM would be:
24000 x (5000 / 1000) x 100 = 12 Meg of RAM
