bigpipe memory

Image:accessories-text-editor-v2-medium.png Usage Notes

Not all of the total system memory is allocated to TMM, a certain amount is allocated to the linux environment. From v9.4 this memory split is displayed using the using this command or the bigpipe global command. In older versions use the switchboot command with the -d option to display how much memory is assigned to the linux environment.

Don't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command.

Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.

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.
