7. Reconfiguring the Server
The server configuration limits the number of:
Because users' demands change over time, you may need
to adjust the configuration periodically. For example, you
may need to add more clients so more users can connect
to the server. Because additional clients and disk services
use system resources, you do not want to configure the
server for more clients or disk services than are actually
needed. Therefore, changing the configuration can also
mean decreasing the number of clients or disk services.
Changing server
configuration can affect
VMS resources.
Changing the server configuration and adding layered
products affects resources available for the VMS operating
system. The configuration procedure ensures that enough
resources are allocated to support the new configuration.
When you add layered products, you also need to follow
the configuration procedure to ensure that adequate system
resources are available.
Changing the server configuration can also affect
performance. After you reconfigure the server, you may
need to tune for performance, as explained in Chapter 8.
This chapter describes how to reconfigure the:
