Testing D3 Processes

Use the procedure below to verify that D3 processes are running.

To verify D3 processes are running:

Verify on which line the spooler process is running. At TCL, enter:

!cat /usr/lib/pick/pick0 | grep npibs

The number of PIBs (ports) defined to D3 displays.

npibs 16

In the example above, 16 PIBs (PIBs 0 to 15) are defined. Thus, the spooler process is on line 16. The Hot Backup process starts on the last available PIB on the system. Therefore, in this example, the Hot Backup process runs on PIB 15.

Confirm the processes by entering the PIB numbers. Enter:

where 15-16

NOTE

The above command is for this specific example. If, for example, 32 PIBs are defined, enter instead.

where 31-3 2

The where command statistics for the specified PIBs display.

:where 15-16

The example above confirms that the Hot Backup process is running on PIB 15. The P displayed in the Stat column indicates it is running as a phantom process.
