Hi Eric,
As I was reading through your post I had an answer ready, until you got to the part about needing to know the root password. This is something that I'm not certain should be shared in an open forum. You can however do a search on the Internet and probably find it. It also depends on the OEM vendor of the switch. IBM keeps the Brocade default, while EMC sets their own.
Once you get into root, you can run the "top" command to provide lots of data on the current state of the hardware (e.g. memory and CPU utilization). This command is only available when logged in as root though.

Hi Eric,
I would advice you to, contact support and raise an SR for this and a CE (Customer Site Engg.) will go onsite to assist you in logging in to root and then you may run the top command to get the CPU and memory usage.

Hello,
I would stronlgy recommend against any use of root and its related commands. Only very advanced Brocade users should use the root account or the commands. It is very easy to cause serious damage to the switch if you do the wrong thing in root. My recommendation would be to use commands like sysMonitor --show mem or cpu instead.
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
Yes you may use the sysmonitor commands as well, you need to be on FOS 6.3 or higher.
