Question about Cisco MDS stats

Hi

I ran this command to get stats from my cisco switch,


show processes mem

and i got this

PID MemAlloc StackBase/Ptr Process
----- -------- ----------------- ----------------
1 20480 7ffffe60/7ffff750 init
729 45056 7ffffd80/7ffffc80 portmap
741 237568 7ffffd80/7ffffc80 rpc.nfsd
743 217088 7ffffd80/7ffffc80 rpc.mountd
745 3092480 7ffffd50/7ffffb80 sysmgr

Does any one know in what value is Mem Alloc, I mean, MemAlloc is in Bytes, Kbytes, Mbytes, Gbytes,etc?

due to I have a MDS 9124 with 512 Memory ram, and in the device manager i look that it is using the 55% of memory?

Regards

Below is information on CIM. I'm not sure if this the CIM you are interested in though. What version of code are you running and what issue are you looking into?

The Common Information Model (CIM) is an object-oriented information model that describes management information in a network or enterprise environment. Because it is object-oriented, CIM provides abstraction, inheritance, and dependency or association relationships between objects within the model. CIM is based on XML and is platform-independent and technology neutral. The management application developer does not need any information about how CIM was implemented on a vendor product; only the API is required to interact with a vendor product.
CIM uses a client/server model. The CIM server can be embedded into the vendor product or can be implemented by a proxy server that provides the CIM server functionality for the legacy vendor product. The CIM client is the management application that communicates to multiple CIM servers to manage the SAN. The CIM client discovers CIM servers through the Service Location Protocol, version 2 (SLPv2) as defined in RFC 2608. SLPv2 uses UDP port 427 for communication and is a discovery protocol that is separate from the CIM client/server communication path.

Hi

I'am interested on this (Cim Server) Due to I have a cisco switch with a hight memory used, I found in a primus that EMC recommend to disable this service in my cisco MDS 9124, but I need to make sure that this change does not affect my production, because i have EMC control Center monitoring the switch.

Regards
