stm cpe_em consuming high cpu

I have a performance issue in one server. I check with top and found this cpe_em process consuming most CPU:

Here is the information about STM tools I have installed:

end

Is there a way to find what is making this cpe_em process consume too much CPU resources? How to stop it?

thanks,

This issue should be by update STM patch or upgrade STM to latest version. You can see STM version when run command mstm.

Actually I solved the issue running /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig, and selecting kill, then enable.
there is an article about this issue in ITRC, look for emr_na-c01309467-1.
The fix is available with the OnlineDiag product AR release of March 2008

This is a known problem with SX2000's. See ITRC article emr_na-c01309467-1.
The fix is available with the OnlineDiag product AR release of March 2008.
For the workaround to this problem, restart the EMS hardware monitor by running /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig and selecting (K)ill, then (E)nable.
