This document includes the following sections:
Introduction to Resource Availability
Starting with Release 4.2(1)SV2(1.1), the Cisco Nexus 1000V software is enhanced to track the usage of system-wide resources with respect to the supported configuration limits on Cisco Nexus 1000V. This enhancement to the Cisco NX-OS code base implements a series of show commands that display the current and maximum system limits for the various resources and their current availability.
The format for the command is show resource-availability [resource] [module id]. The resource is an optional argument that could either be a specific resource, for example, VLAN or all. The module is an optional keyword that is followed by a specific module number argument.
The show resource-availability resource command displays the availability information on the distributed virtual switch (DVS) and on each module for the specified resource. The show resource-availability resource module id command displays the availability information only for the specified module.
The show resource-availability command displays the DVS-wide availability information about the key resources such as hosts, port profiles, vEthernet ports, port channels, and VLANs.
The show resource-availability all command prints the availability information on the DVS and each module for all the resources. The CLI is implemented as a sequence of show resource-availability resource commands that are repeated through all the resources.
Note
You cannot generate xml output for show resource-availability all command.
The show resource-availability module id command displays the availability of the specified module for all the resources that have a per-module configuration limit. The CLI is implemented as a series of show resource-availability resource module id commands.
Table 1 lists the resources and the corresponding aggregate commands.
