Resolving Memory Problems

To make more memory available on your server until you can add more memory to your system, perform one or more of the following tasks:

• Use the SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS command to reduce the number of buffers used.
• Use the FILER (or NetWare^® Administrator utility) to purge deleted files on the specified directory that cannot be purged automatically. (Deleted files are using up directory table space.)
• Use the REMOVE DOS or SECURE CONSOLE command to make more memory available in the server that has been reserved for DOS.
• Unload the NetWare Loadable Module^TM (NLM^TM ) programs, such as INSTALL or MONITOR, that are not currently required.
• Dismount volumes that are not being used.
• Delete unused files and directories on the specified volume.
• Change the Minimum File Delete Wait Time SET command parameter in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that files can be purged immediately rather than being retained in a salvageable state on the volume.
• Reduce the size or number of volumes that the server supports.
• As a last resort, back up all files in your volume, bring down your server, and use the INSTALL command to reinitialize the volume. Specify a block size of 64 KB and turn the Block Suballocation option to Off. (This setting uses a large amount of disk space but increases the amount of memory available.)
