Re: 'utild' process is taking lots of memory
I assume the cause is the same as this thread:
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1417149
After weeks we tracked it down to a poor programming practice in utild that depended on the kindness of dld.sl.
>When I compared with other systems it is using only 15-20MB only.
What are the types of these other systems? If they are high end systems and have the appropriate shlibs installed, then dld.sl doesn't let utild down.

Re: 'utild' process is taking lots of memory
Daemon respawn utild is respawned if it is killed, due to the following entry in
/etc/inittab:
utild:23456:respawn:/usr/lbin/utild # Utilization Provider daemon
WARNINGS
Removing the Utilization Provider removes any historical data that has been collected by utild, as well as prevents HP Integrity Essentials Virtualization Manager and HP Integrity Essentials Capacity Advisor from functioning properly. To disable utild, the Utilization Provider software can be removed with the following swremove command (see
swremove(1M)):
swremove UtilProvider
man utild
rgs,

Re: 'utild' process is taking lots of memory
Yes, we found that dld.so doesn't have this mmap memory "leak".
>what is the command to restart utild?
Sorry, I don't remember. You could just kill it. Or look at all of the rc scripts in /sbin/init.d/ for utild and then stop then start that one.
