Stack only showing hal process for one node

DH1 — Thu, 31 May 2018 17:58:00 GMT

We have a stack of 2 X450-G2-48P switches running 22.2.1.5. A while back one node failed as the hal process consumed 98% of the CPU and they switched roles. The master became the backup and vice versa. I am noticing today that the hal is consuming high memory and when I run "show process hal" it only reports one node

I would suggest to upgrade, 22,2 is not the latest and quite a lot of problems are fixed in the latest 22.5.1 EXOS release.

Thanks for the reply, I looked at the release notes and I don't see any open issues that would affect me. TAC suggested I go to 21.1.4.4patch1-6 in early May but I don't want to go back in versions.

I didn't put the title on the above portion. This is when I run "show memory" it shows both nodes for the hal process.
