The amount of shared memory available to this server, shown in kilobytes (KB).
Shared Memory Cushion
The number of kilobytes (KB) reserved from the shared memory pages to enable the server to continue processing when the shared memory allocation is too small for the operational requirements of the server.
Shared Memory Free
The amount of shared memory currently free, shown in kilobytes (KB).
States
Displays the following information:
Working Mode
The current working bit mode of the server.
Perf Enabled
Enables reporting of performance data that can be viewed in Perfmon and Operations Manager.
Force Phase In
The current state of Force Phase In. If Force Phase In is set, MSS reloads programs each time they are invoked. This applies only to programs that are not marked resident and have not been loaded with the hold attribute. If Yes, Force Phase In is set; if No, it is not.
