For More Information

See Changing Novell Remote Manager Configuration Options.

You can create groups using the Group Operations functionality, then let the Debug user monitor the servers in the group.

See Allowing the Debug User to Monitor Preconfigured Groups.

Configure

You can configure the e-mail notification for health alerts to contain the specific health item in the message heading rather than the default message heading of Server Health Warning.

See Configuring E-Mail Notification for Server Health Status.

Manage Server

To prevent abending the server, file access is now denied to volumes that do not have the long namespace installed. The volumes still mount and display, but no file access is allowed through Novell Remote Manager.

See Section 7.1, Accessing and Managing Server Volumes and Partitions.

Manage Server

Connections page information now shows total bytes read, written, and NCP Request fields in the upper section of the Connections page.

See Table 7-3.

Manage Server

The Available Memory category on the View Memory Config page has changed to Free to avoid the confusion about memory that is available to the NSS system but is also available to the file system. The Health Monitor table still reports Available Memory which includes memory that is available to NSS.

See Table 7-9.

Manage Applications

You can export (save), make changes, then import (load) registry keys from the NetWare Registry page.

This functionality already existed using the server console regedit command but you can now use the NetWare Registry pages in Novell Remote Manager to make changes to the registry.

See Section 8.4, Viewing and Managing the NetWare Registry.

RSS Feed Operation

You can use an RSS to monitor the overall server health or ping status of a group of servers.

See Section 12.0, Using RSS to Monitor Servers.
