HP health and snmp agents segfaults right after boot.

[okkim]

Hi,

I have a problem with many Redhat 6.4 servers, kernel version 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64 and agents versions hp-snmp-agents-9.30-2412.33.rhel6.x86_64 and hp-health-9.31-1572.3.rhel6.x86_64 (newest at the moment). The agents will die in segfault right after the server start.

kernel: [   45.543402] cmahostd[2405]: segfault at 5c72bfb4 ip 00007fd7efeb6b4e sp 000000005c72bfb4 error 6 in mem[7fd7efe66000+60000]

Also the version control agent dies sometimes:

And what is this error. that it is not signed with a proper key? All are installer from HP's epository.

Anyone got a solution?

Stop hp-snmp-agents and hp-health
Delete the /var/spool/compaq/hpasm/registry directory
Start hp-health and hp-snmp-agents

I did that, but it didn't help.
