Hi,

I found the following documentation which might be helpful to you.

Question:
1,what is registrar process?
2,why is the number of registrar so many?
3,Can i shutdown the process?

thanks

[Anita Kelkar]

Hi ,
This is the server process , used in the event monitoring system (EMS) . This server process "registrar" is spawned to fulfill the client request. So this indicates that . on your machine there is a possibility that some active client is available.
If you are not using the Event monitoring Services , and you just want to get rid of this , you can remove the entry in inetd.conf "registrar stream tcp nowait root /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/registrar /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/registrar" and execute the #inetd -c (force to read the configure file )

If you want to use EMS services and solve this problem, I think you better contact HP support center.

thanks

1,what is registrar process?

It is a daemon that coordinates errors from hardware drivers with the online diagnostics (EMS and STM).

2,why is the number of registrar so many?

This is not normal at all. I would guess that this is due to a bad installation of the diagnostics or lack of patches. Use your SupportPlus CDROM to install the latest version. The diagnostics install file is under the CDROM directory DIAGNOSTICS.

3,Can i shutdown the process?

The easiest way is to use swremove. However, I would never do this on a production machine as you will no longer see any early warnings about hardware problems. Update your EMS/STM diagnostics package.

Hi,
Thanks in advance first
Yestday,I have call HP Support Center.they are Solving now.I will reply the answer when HP tell me.

hi,all
yesterday,HP Support Center login the host and deal with the problem.the process as below:
Stop the registar if neccesary by commenting out the 2 entries
in /etc/inetd.conf and re-reading the inetd configuration with
'inetd -c'. Kill any remaining registrar processes.

- Stop monitoring

# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
Select (K)ill (disable) monitoring

Kill any monitor processes which are left over.

- Stop p_client

Comment out the p_client entry in /etc/inittab :
# vi /etc/inittab

Change the following line
ems4:3456:respawn:/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/p_client
to
#ems4:3456:respawn:/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/p_client

Reread /etc/inittab :
# init q

Check if p_client is still running, if yes kill the process.

- Delete the persistence files and pipes

# cd /etc/opt/resmon/persistence
# rm p*
# rm m*
# cd /etc/opt/resmon/pipe
# rm *

- Have diagnostics remap the system hardware

# cstm
cstm>remap
cstm>quit

Allow enough time for remap to finish before restarting the monitors.

- Clean up monitor flags in the diagnostics directory

# cd /var/stm/data/tools/monitor
# rm *.hwa

- Re-enable registrar in /etc/inetd.conf and run 'inetd -c'.

- Restart p_client

# vi /etc/inittab
Change the following line
#ems4:3456:respawn:/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/p_client
back to
ems4:3456:respawn:/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/p_client

Re-read /etc/inittab :

# init q

- Restart the EMS monitors

# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
Select (E)nable Monitoring
