These are the descriptions of the information in each column:

•

Name—name of the task

•

Entry—entry point; the top-level function of the task

•

TID—task identifier; the task control block

•

Size—stack size in bytes

•

CUR—current number of bytes of stack in use

•

High—highest number of bytes of stack which have been in use

•

Margin—the difference between the stack size and the highest number of
bytes which have been in use

Follow the steps in the

“Entering Diagnostic Commands” section on page 9-21

open the CLI and enter the

:vxdiag_checkstack

command.

:vxdiag_hostshow

Use the

:vxdiag_hostshow

command to display remote hosts and their IP

addresses and aliases. The remote host information might look like this example:

Clock: 96470 sec
