cclogd 100% cpu

Juan Manuel López — Wed, 22 Aug 2001 07:13:12 GMT

My Hp/Ux machine is always at 100% CPU !!!
This is the top exit:

This has been discussed many times in this forum.
If you go search for the cclogd you will find many documents.
It is normally a result of a leak in the process, and has been fixed by patches which document this. As youy have not stated your OS verion or your DIAGNOSTIC product version, I cannot supply a patch number, or advise which version of DIags to update to.

Please check if there are problems with the hardware by running xstm or cstm.

Also, it will be very helpful if you can run the sar command

$sar 1 10

Observe the %sys if it is more than 20, it could be due to some H/W issues

If there is %WIO > 20, then you have a disk bottleneck. If you see vxfsd continously on the top of the list, there is a lot of file system activity.

There are other options like sar -d , sar -b to check the disk activity

You can use sar -v to check the kernel parameters.

But I would check sar and check %SYS as there is something suspecious about cclogd that is taking quite some CPU. Run stm and check the particularly the chassis errorlogs. This could be a H/W issue.

Hi

The server returned to "normal" after removing the core file and
restarting the cclogd daemon as follows:

# /sbin/init.d/diagnostic stop

# /sbin/init.d/diagnostic start

this will solve the problem .

My Hp/Ux version is B.11.00
The diag version: OnlineDiag B.11.00.16.09 HPUX 11.0 Support Tools Bundle

Sri, next time I will try to find the answer on old messages.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The best thing to do in these situation is to monitor ths system through Glance. It displays quite a few metrics that can help in pinpointing the reason for this kind of system behaviour.
The metrics to study for high cpu utilisation would be the CPU report and proc list to know if one process is causing this or a whole group of process involved.
The paging statistics, thread states,openfiles list, to begin with can give you a good idea of what's happening.
If you do not have glance installed you can get a trial version of it from HP software downloads.
All the best...
