how to stop java vm manually in NSO 5.1

[kuiliu]

Stopping NSO built-in java vm and transiting all NSO operations to another java vm started in Eclipse is handy for debug during development, however since NSO 5.1 java-vm stop command isn't available anymore. does anyone have any idea how to manually stop and start NSO java vm in NSO 5.1?

Thanks

Hi,

These options have been hidden, not removed. They are in the debug hide-group. To unhide them you need to add the hide-group to your ncs.conf. Add the following lines:

  <hide-group>
    <name>debug</name>
  </hide-group>

After restarting NSO, you will be able unhide this group in the CLI using the unhide command:

ncs_cli -u admin

admin connected from 127.0.0.1 using console on MMADDERN-M-D0DF
admin@ncs> unhide debug

Possible completions:
