Device Advisor Driver Messages
- Loaded OK/Total indicates the ratio of successful loads to load attempts.
The rightmost, or Total, number indicates the number of times the system
tried to load NS-Link, while the left most number indicates the number of
times that NS-Link activated successfully after loading. Ideally, these two
numbers should be the same.
- Devices Detected/Avail indicates the number of NS-Link devices currently
attached to the network, and the number of devices currently available to
be acquired by this server.
For example, if you have one device installed, and it is not currently
configured on any server, then the value displayed is 1/1. But if you have
one device installed, and it is currently configured on a server, then the
value displayed is 1/0.
