Memory leak with WBEM FC Indication Provider Module

[Janne_5]

After some time my WBEM FC Indication Provider process grows from 4MB to 800MB memory usage.

It's this process:
# ps -efx | grep FC
root 2728 2719 0 Jul 16 ? 8:40 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimprovagt 0 5 10 root HPUXFCIndicationProviderModule

# swlist FCProvider
FCProvider B.11.11.07 CIM/WBEM Provider for Fibre Channel HBAs


After restarting the cimserver it takes around 4MB. Does anyone know how to fix it permanently?

The FC Provider which I can find at software.hp.com is a lower version which i got; FCProvider_B.11.11.04

Perhaps FCProvider_B.11.11.07 is faulty and I have to downgrade. Will verify that with HP support unless anyone comes up with something else.

There are several known memory leak issues with WBEM. I've been fighting with one associated with the DASProvider since I upgraded in March. HP provided a beta release in June, but it was worse than the March version. Now that September is here, I'm waiting to see what the September release will be like.
