Usage Syntax
bigpipe global
Usage Notes
To ascertain how much CPU time is being used by TMM (rather than the linux environment,) the CPU or TMM Cycles rows (dependent on version) should be analysed. Idle cycles are used by TMM, sleep cycles are used by the linux environment.
Not all of the total system memory is allocated to TMM, a certain amount is allocated to the linux environment. From v9.4 this is clearly shown by the two memory rows listed, one for TMM, one for the host. In older versions use the switchboot command with the -d option to display how much memory is assigned to the linux environment.
Bigpipe Usage Notes
font color=redFrom v9.4, be aware of the administrative partition that is currently active;/font use the bigpipe shell partition command to display the current active partition name and the bigpipe shell partition name command to change partitions.
A full command manual can be displayed using the man command followed by the command name, for example: man pool or by suffixing the command name with the help keyword, for example; bigpipe pool help.
In most cases, the font color=purpleshow/font keyword displays object status or statistics and the font color=purplelist/font keyword displays configuration. URemember/U, from v9.4, only objects in the currently active administrative partition will be displayed.
The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.
Where curly or normal brackets {}' or () or quotes ' or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the BASH shell from parsing them as system commands.
font color=redDon't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command as necessary./font noinclude/noinclude
Typical Output
noinclude/noinclude Notes: Denials - no listen denials relate to requests where there is no virtual server, NAT or SNAT configured to deal with the request.
