dmisp process - HIGH CPU

[SURI HUNJAN]

Hi all,

HPUX 11.11 (11i)
I have seen various threads all suggesting stop/start the dmisp daemon to clear down the HIGH CPU usage.This works fine as a work_around.

Would anyone know what is causing this? Is there an HP Patch to fix this?

Thanks
Suri

Hi Suri,

Probably the System Inventory Manager is not configured properly. Please check the link and see if you have configured appropriately.

Suri,

DMI comes with a larger bundle (SCM Service Control Manager) included with 11i
automatically. HP SIM (Systems Insight Manager) also uses DMI. So if or SCM
or SIM are not being used, then DMI is probably not needed.

If not using DMI, disable it from running by editing Dmiconfig:

#vi /etc/rc.config.d/Dmiconfig

and changing the variable START_DMI to be equal to 0.

Or
#/sbin/init.d/Dmisp stop
#cd /var/dmi/database
#rm *
NOTE: There should be 2 to 3 files. Do NOT remove the database directory!
#/sbin/init.d/Dmisp start

Hi Srikanth and Whiteknight,

Thanks alot for the responses.

Got a better understanding now on the process dmisp.
We eventually disabled it as DMI was not in use.
Also HP came back with a solution - HIGH CPU usage fix is in a later release of DMI.

Curent DMI Version B.11.11.38.
Fix in DMI 11.40.
