HPUX 11i uptime seems to be higher.

[Andrew Nguyen_1]

I recently loaded hpux11i and noticed that
the uptime seems to be higher versus hpux11.0

hpux11i uptime load average: 1.81, 1.60, 1.53

hpux11.0 uptime load average: 0.39, 0.35, 0.24

Both machines are idle without any activity.

Help anyones.

That could be possible depending on the type of hardware you have.

What type of machine is this? How much RAM?

[John Carr_2]

Hi

have you compared the output of ps to see if there are possibly more processes or deamons ... running on the 11i box

:-) John.

[Andrew Nguyen_1]

model is C3000 and physical memory is 1Gb.

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi Andrew,

11i tends to load & turn things on from an install much more so than 11.0 did.
My bet is you have Apache, PRM, NFS, SNMP, DMI, etc running. They all use CPU time.

Anything you don't need can be turned off of course.

Rgds,
Jeff

Better if you can give the models of both 11.0 and 11i.

sorry,
The posted model of C3000 and 1Gb physical memory are standard configuration for both hpux11i and hpux11.0 I also had couple daemons turnoff like SNMP... etc. But the changes are not significant. I also ran a cmd
to look for number of RSS memory per process like
ps -e rss,args |sort -n

due to limited space pls. check attachment for
output. thx.

I've got a C3000 also with 1GB RAM and my load averages are way lower than yours.

I just recently installed 11.11 on this machine and I have turned off NFS and other stuff I don't want or need.

# uptime
3:50pm up 6:26, 41 users, load average: 0.08, 0.51, 0.58
# uptime
3:52pm up 6:28, 41 users, load average: 0.48, 0.54, 0.58

Most Engineering applications are on the SAN environment;therefore, NFS daemon are requires.

Andrew,

there is a known problem on 11.11, JAGad64023
. Take care to have PHKL_25389 or later installed (latest is PHKL_29706).

Best regards...
Dietmar.

AS mentioned, 11i starts a lot more daemons and other processes by default. run ps -ef on both machines to see what additional processes have been started. Then run top to compare the two machines as to CPU usage. If you don't require SNMP (automated network and computer monitoring, turn it off in /etc/rc.config.d/Snmp*

[Andrew Nguyen_1]

Thanks everyones for an excelent inputs.
I installed kernel patch PHKL_29706 with
all dependencies and that fixed the problem.

again,
thanks
Andrew
