The Novell ZENworks Server Management database consists of files located in the \novell zenworks\mms\db directory on the management server. The Novell ZENworks Server Management data is stored in the following logical database:
Topology/alarm database containing topology, alarms, and map information associated with the following files:
Mw.db
Mw1.db
Mw2.db
Mw3.db
The mw.log file in the \novell zenworks\mms\db subdirectory saves your transaction information with the database files.
The database is run using the mgmtdbs.ncf file (located in the system directory on a server volume), which is executed from autoexec.ncf.
IMPORTANT:Ensure that the database is running as long as the Novell ZENworks Server Management services are running.
Increasing the database cache improves the database performance. The default database cache size is 48 MB. You can increase the cache size to an optimum level depending on the server memory. To increase the cache size, modify the -c option in sys:\system\mgmtdbs.ncf. For example, -c 64M sets the cache size to 64 MB. Reload the database after modifying the cache size.
