Listing active IBM Storage Scale commands

You can list the active IBM Storage Scale commands that are running on the file system manager node.

Most IBM Storage Scale commands run within the GPFS daemon on the file system manager node. Even if you start a command on another node of the cluster, the node typically sends the command to the file system manager node to be executed. (Two exceptions are the mmdiag command and the mmfsadm dump command, which run on the node where they were started.)

To list the active commands on the file system manager node, follow these steps:

Enter the mmlsmgr command with no parameters to discover which node is the file system manager node.
For more information on other options available for the mmlsmgr command, see mmlsmgr command.
In the following example, the mmlsmgr command reports that node05 is the file system manager node:
```
# mmlsmgr
file system      manager node
---------------- ------------------
gpfs1            192.168.145.14 (node05)

Cluster manager node: 192.168.145.13 (node03)
```
Go to the command console on the file system manager node and enter mmdiag --commands:
```
# mmdiag --commands
=== mmdiag: commands ===
CrHashTable 0x1167A28F0 n 2
  cmd sock 24 cookie 2233688162 owner 38076509 id 0x3FE6046C2700000D(#13) uses 1 
type 76 start 1460415325.957724 flags 0x106 SG none line 'mmdiag --commands'
  cmd sock 12 cookie 521581069 owner 57606185 id 0x3FE6046C2700000C(#12) uses 1 
type 13 start 1460415323.336314 flags 0x117 SG gpfs1 line 'mmrestripefs /dev/business1 -m'
```
The output indicates that two commands are running: the mmdiag --commands command that you just entered and the mmrestripefs command, which was started from another node.
Note: The output contains two lines about active commands. Each line begins with the term cmd and wraps to the next line. You might be interested in the following fields:

start

The system time at which the command was received.

SG

The name of the file system, or None.

line

The command as received by the GPFS daemon.

The remaining input is detailed debugging data that is used for product support. For more information on mmdiag command output, see For more information, see mmdiag command.
