Displaying Process Information

This procedure shows you how to display information about the processes in the system.
  1. Run show process {name} {detail} {description} {slot slotid} .

    Where the following is true:

    • name: Specifies the name of the process.

    • detail: Specifies more detailed process information, including memory usage statistics, process ID information, and process statistics.

    • description: Describes the name of all of the processes or the specified process running on the switch.

    • slotid: On a modular chassis, specifies the slot number of the MSM/MM. A specifies the MSM/MM installed in slot A. B specifies the MSM/MM installed in slot B. On a SummitStack, specifies the target node's slot number. The number is a value from 1 to 8. (This parameter is available only on modular switches and SummitStack.)

    The show process {name} {detail} {description} {slot slotid} and show process slot slotid commands display the following information in a tabular format:

    • Card: The name of the module where the process is running (modular switches only).

    • Process Name: The name of the process.

    • Version: The version number of the process. Options are:

      • Version number: A series of numbers that identify the version number of the process. This is helpful to ensure that you have version-compatible processes and if you experience a problem.
      • Not Started: The process has not been started. This can be caused by not having the appropriate license or for not starting the process.
    • Restart: The number of times the process has been restarted. This number increments by one each time a process stops and restarts.

    • State: The current state of the process. Options are:
      • No License: The process requires a license level that you do not have. For example, you have not upgraded to that license, or the license is not available for your platform.
      • Ready: The process is running.
      • Stopped: The process has been stopped.
    • Start Time: The current start time of the process. Options are:
      • Day/Month/Date/Time/Year: The date and time the process began. If a process terminates and restarts, the start time is also updated.
      • Not Started: The process has not been started. This can be caused by not having the appropriate license or for not starting the process.

    When you specify the detail keyword, more specific and detailed process information is displayed.

    The show process detail and show process slot slotid detail commands display the following information in a multi-tabular format:

    • Detailed process information
    • Memory usage configurations
    • Recovery policies
    • Process statistics
    • Resource usage
