NETSVC (NETWORK_SERVICE) -- Set or display network services.
usage:  NETSVC [-A|-N|-L|-R] [-P [n]] [-S [n]]


FORMAT

  NETSVC [options]


  NETSVC sets or displays the network services that this node will perform.  All
  changes take place immediately.


OPTIONS

  If no options are specified, NETSVC displays the network services allowed  for
  this node.

  Default options are indicated by "(D)."

  -N                  None  --  Disable  all  network  services  and  physically
                     disconnect this node from the network.

  -L                 Local -- Allow only network requests  originating  at  this
                     node.

  -R                  Remote -- Allow only network requests originating at other
                     nodes.

  -A           (D)   All -- Allow both locally and  remotely  initiated  network
                     requests.    (The  size  of  the  remote paging pool is not
                     changed.)

  -S[ERVERS] [n]
                     Servers -- Set the number of network servers to run on this
                     node.  At system startup, the number of network servers  is
                     1.  If this node is a network partner for diskless nodes or
                     has several remote file users, their  performace  could  be
                     improved  by  increasing the number of servers. If n is not
                     specified, the maximum number of servers (3) is used.

  -P [n]             Pool -- Set local memory pool size.  Network page  requests
                     originating at remote nodes may not use more than 'n' pages
                     of the local node's memory.  If n is not specified, all  of
                     the  local  node's  memory  is  eligible  for  remote  page
                     requests.

  CAUTION: Be careful when revoking network access with -N or -L.   Remote  file
           users  may have problems, and writable files may be damaged.  If your
           node was the network partner for a  diskless  node,  that  node  will
           crash when your node leaves the network.

           Use the -S option carefully.  Although you can increase the number of
           servers, you cannot decrease it. The only way to return to a  smaller
           number  of  servers is to reboot the node.  Also note that increasing
           the number of server processes decreases the number of user processes
           allowed.    When you run NETMAN, the number of servers increases from
           one to two.  If the number of servers is already two or greater  when
           you start NETMAN, it will not increase further.


EXAMPLES

    $ netsvc
    Network operations allowed: ALL
    Number of network servers: 1
    Remotely initiated paging pool limit: NONE
