"vxfsd" at "top", normal ?

I noticed that all 15 servers had the same issue: "vxfsd" running at the top of "top" list: ( got the same result by using "glance" )

Server1:
CPU TTY PID USERNAME PRI NI SIZE RES STATE TIME %WCPU %CPU COMMAND
1 ? 12929 root 152 20 274M 54188K run 18:25 0.66 0.66 java
0 ? 36 root 152 20 7424K 7424K run 8:32 0.35 0.35 vxfsd

Server2:
CPU TTY PID USERNAME PRI NI SIZE RES STATE TIME %WCPU %CPU COMMAND
2 ? 38 root 152 20 1888K 1888K run 35:44 0.67 0.66 vxfsd
0 ? 10442 root 152 20 276M 54520K run 21:01 0.67 0.66 java

Server3:
CPU TTY PID USERNAME PRI NI SIZE RES STATE TIME %WCPU %CPU COMMAND
3 ? 22067 oracle 152 20 206M 162M run 8:44 2.91 2.90 jre
1 ? 23308 root 152 20 273M 54844K run 52:16 1.38 1.37 java
0 ? 37 root 152 20 7424K 7424K run 71:24 0.83 0.83 vxfsd

Is that normal or something I need to do ?
Thanks !

Hi,

'vxfsd' showing up in top doesn't mean it's a CPU hogger. If you see the utilization, it's just .35 in the first instance. You don't have any processes that are more CPU expensive at this time than 'vxfsd'.

Not a concern to me.

Its normal. I have 200 machines most of the idle ones are that way.

Hi,

The total cpu utalistation of your servers is not to high. I do not think a <0.9 % CPU utalisation for vxfsd is a problem.

On a system that idle, it's completely normal.

This seems to be as a result of light system load.

When a system is at idle, and nothing particularly intensive is happening, you will see all kinds of processes you didn't even think took a lot of CPU show up in top once in a while.

I try and look at things for a usefulness perspective. Is the machine providing reasonable user response? If not, then look at performance and see if there is an issue.
