DL385 G5p and hp-snmp-agents

[Celeda]

Hi!

Without the hp-snmp-agents started server has a load of 0,3!
After starting the agents loads goes up to 2,0!!

Kernel is:
2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 24 12:05:57 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

hp-snmp-agents version is:
hp-snmp-agents-8.2.0-284.rhel5

any suggestions?

Thanks

Wolfgang

Same here but using the Debian Lenny
DL360G5
2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 27 04:02:59 UTC 2009 x86_64GNU/Linux
I uninstalled them....

same problem here except I'm running on bl460c. I had thought the package causing the problem was actually hp-health, but uninstalling this package also removes the snmp-agent. I will do further testing tomorrow. Are the snmp-agents required fo integrating into hpSIM, or can I get away without them?

[richiemarshall]

I think I've traced the cause of the problem to this process; cmasm2d

If i stop the process (by killing it, or running /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/server/etc/cmasm2d stop) then the load drops off.

It's possible to stop the process from starting automatically by adding the process into the exclude line in the conf file:
/opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/cma.conf

but this isn;t fun if you have many servers.

Same here with RHEL 5.3, kernel 2.6.18-138.el5 #1 SMP Fri Apr 3 18:07:22 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, on DL365 G1 and DL585 G2.

hp-snmp-agents-8.2.0-284.rhel5

Stopping cmasm2d solves the load average issue for me as well.

Same issue here even after installing psp-8.25.rhel5.x86_64.en.tar.gz released a few daysa go (June 2nd 2009)

Adjust the PFLAGS=â -p 30 $MOUSFLAGSâ line in /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/server/etc/cmasm2d to add â -w 5â for a 5 second delay.

This will change the polling cycle of the cmasm2d porcess.
