dmisp process

lawrenzo_1 — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 05:17:16 GMT

Hi all,

I am looking at the dmisp process running at 100% cpu however not sure what the process does - I checked the man page:

The dmisp daemon handles all run-time management including component
installation, registration, request serialization, synchronization and
MIF database operations.

does anyone know the implications of restarting this process or can provide any further info?

Thanks

Chris

Hi!

You can restart it safely:

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp stop|start

Regards;

chris,

DMI comes with a larger bundle (SCM Service Control Manager) included with 11i
automatically. HP SIM (Systems Insight Manager) also uses DMI. So if or SCM
or SIM are not being used, then DMI is probably not needed. Check
If not using DMI, disable it from running by editing Dmiconfig:

vi /etc/rc.config.d/Dmiconfig

and changing the variable START_DMI to be equal to 0. Otherwise, please
verify that DMI version B.11.11.36 is running:

swlist -l product |grep -i dmi

NOTE: DMI is no longer downloadable.

DMI (and dmisp) are no longer recommended (use WEBEM if needed):

You can safely disable the feature by stopping the service:

/sbin/init.d/Dmisp stop

and permanently disable the servicce by editing the file: /etc/rc.config.d/Dmisp and change the value START_DMI=1 to START_DMI=0.
