2.3 What’s New (NetWare 6.5 SP5)

The server health item for Available Memory in Novell® Remote Manager for NetWare is configured by default with threshold values calculated as a percentage of the total server memory. Starting with NetWare 6.5 SP5, adjustments have been made to the server’s memory handling that allow for lower values for these thresholds, so the defaults for Suspect and Critical levels have been changed.

These changes to the default threshold values are in place on a new server install with NW6.5 SP5, but the defaults are not automatically changed on a server that is being upgraded to the latest Support Pack, to avoid overwriting any custom values you might have already set for these thresholds.

If you see the Available Memory server health item showing a status of Suspect (yellow) or Critical (red) after applying the Support Pack (which may or may not occur depending on the server memory and existing settings), adjust the threshold values to the new defaults for Available Memory.

To adjust the threshold values to the new defaults for the Available Memory health item:

  1. In Novell Remote Manager, click Health Monitor under the Diagnose Server heading.

  2. Click Threshold Configuration > Available Memory > Restore Default Values > OK.
