Determine How Long a BPX BCC Processor Has Been
Active
The most accurate method is to locate the 
switchcc
 in the event log, or examine a StrataView Plus (SV+)
log, if available. If these are not available, there is a service−level command that you can use to calculate how
long the BCC has been active.
The arbstats command displays information about the arbiter in the BCC. While it is possible to clear these
statistics (with the arbstats c command), most nodes have never had their arbiter statistics cleared unless a
serious arbiter problem was suspected at some time.
The 
Sample count
 field displays the number of seconds that the arbiter has been operational.
