Hi we got some superdomes with XP 24K storage .

I noticed lately :

Some defunct processes , if I search for the PP they are always /usr/sbin/iocdsfd

On all systems

root 7269 7250 1 Apr 8 ? 0:00 <defunct>

root 7250 1 0 Apr 8 ? 211:24 /usr/sbin/iocdsfd

root 18505 7250 0 Sep 6 ? 0:00 <defunct>

root 18551 7250 1 Jun 28 ? 0:00 <defunct>

root 7265 7250 0 Sep 6 ? 0:00 <defunct>

root 366 7250 0 Apr 26 ? 0:00 <defunct>

after reboot starts with one some time later ( a day ) again 4 or 5 .

we uses raidmanager horcm

On other Balde systems with ServiceGuard Cluster 11.20 ( on these we using Host-Base Mirror LVM) but also cluster_dsf we do not have this

Does anyone have an idea??

What exact HP-UX version and OE are you running?

I wouldn't worry about so few zombies.
