Noticed that it runs every 5mins.
Herewith is root cron entries:

# crontab -l
# Entry for monitoring status of the EMSHAProvider
* * * * * sleep 15;/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/mon_EMSHAProvider_state.sh
# Entry for vacuuming the EMT CER DB
5 1 * * * /opt/sfm/vacuum
5,20,35,50 * * * * /opt/sfm/bin/restart_sfm.sh

Thanks!

SFM states "System Fault management"
It is the monitoring Application which is loaded in your system and came along with the OS.like event monitoring service (EMS)

You can check SFM installed in your system by #swlist -l product |grep SFM

Normally it monitors systems states for each 5 minutes.As you shown root-sfmdb entries are occurred in your syslog.+ indicates it is successful login to the SFM database.

By removing crontab entries , it may not possible to stop the root-sfmdb entries.I suspects SFM version is not loaded properly on your system.

First you check which SFM version loaded in system.Uninstall the SFM bundles from system using swremove.
Before uninstalling stop cimserver using cimserver -s command.

Install a fresh / upgraded SFm version.

Hope this helps!

please check your SFM version.
#swlist -l product |grep -i fault

You need to upgrade SFM version.
stop cimserver
#cimserver -s

Install latest SFM version software.

start cimserver
#cimserver

Its an workaround. i faced same issues in my servers as well.

#swlist -l product |grep -i fault

# swlist -l product |grep -i fault
SFM-CORE B.05.00.05 HPUX System Fault Management
