Try stop and restart

Restart the dmisp daemon, utilization will come down to normal.

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp stop
/sbin/init.d/Dmisp start

Hi Santhosh,

To answer your first question:

"'dmisp' part of Desktop Management Interface - DMI is used by inventory management softwares like Insight manager, Service control manager. If you don't have them installed, then you don't need to have it running. "

To answer the second question, if you are running Systems Insight Manager or other management software like the one listed above, itÂ´s likely that this software collect informaiton about managed nodes, so it is likely that they will store information as their ip address.

Regards,

Jaime.

Shalom,

A bi-annual patch installation may help.

PPID being 1 may indicate the process is orphaned and can not be killed.

If that is the case, reboot may be required to fix it?

For the benefit of anybody else searching for /usr/dmi/bin/dmisp looping at 100% CPU on HP-UX 11.11 (aka HP-UX 11i).

Mine did this again after the server had been up for exactly one year.

Restarting the application in a root "at" job cleared the problem.

at now
/sbin/init.d/Dmisp stop
/sbin/init.d/Dmisp start
