Managing ExtremeWare XOS Processes
ExtremeWare XOS consists of a number of cooperating processes running on the switch. With process
control, under certain conditions, you can stop and start processes, restart failed processes, examine
information about the processes, and update the software for a specific process or set of processes.
This section describes the following topics:
●

Displaying Process Information
To display information about the processes in the system, use the following command:
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
—Specifies the slot number of the MSM. A specifies the MSM installed in slot A. B specifies
the MSM installed in slot B. (This parameter is available only on modular switches.)
The
show process
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.
