Displays the status of the "Vital" processes.
| name | Specifies the name of the process. |
| detail | Specifies more detailed process information. |
| description | Describes the name of all of the processes or the specified process running on the switch. |
| slotid | Specifies the slot number of a node in a stack topology. |
N/A.
The NOS process manager monitors all of the "Vital" processes. The process manager also ensures that only version-compatible processes are started.
Using this command without the optional keywords displays summary process information. When you specify the slot keyword, summary information is displayed for that particular slot only.
When you specify the detail keyword, more specific and detailed process information is displayed.
This status information may be useful for your technical support representative if you have a network problem.
Depending on the software version running on your switch or your switch model, additional or different process information might be displayed.
You may find it useful to capture the process information under normal operating conditions to establish a baseline. By having a baseline, if you experience a problem, you and your technical support representative can more easily identify the problem.
