I just went through this and turned cimserver off. Cimserver is associated to ICOD and SIM. If you don't need it then:

1) cimerserver -s
2) vi /etc/rc.config.d/cimerserver, set to 0
3) vi /etc/inittab, # cimserverd
4) ps -ef | grep cimserverd, kill -9

If this rp8440 has iCAP/iCOD CPUs/Cell boards on it then *do not permanently stop cimserver* - the same goes for the icodd/icapd daemon.

You can restart it without concern though - it only matters to iCAP/iCOD if its not there for more than 12 hours.

I've had some loops in cimserver and I just stopped with "cimerserver -s" and restarted it.
