Monitoring and maintaining processes
HPE Comware V7 is a full-featured, modular, and scalable network operating system based on the
Linux kernel. Comware V7 software features run the following types of independent processes:
• User process—Runs in user space. Most Comware V7 software features run user processes.
Each process runs in an independent space so the failure of a process does not affect other
processes. The system automatically monitors user processes. Comware V7 supports
preemptive multithreading. A process can run multiple threads to support multiple activities.
Whether a process supports multithreading depends on the software implementation.
• Kernel thread—Runs in kernel space. A kernel thread executes kernel code. It has a higher
security level than a user process. If a kernel thread fails, the system breaks down. You can
monitor the running status of kernel threads.
Displaying and maintaining processes
Commands described in this section apply to both user processes and kernel threads. You can
execute these commands in any view.
The system identifies a process that consumes excessive memory or CPU resources as an anomaly
source.
To display and maintain processes:
