nfs consuming CPU after 11.0 install

[Haitham Hamad]

I did 5 fresh installs of HP-UX 11.0 on Dservers over the last two months but this is the first time to get nfs trouble. I have 4 nfsd and 1 pcnfs_server. Each one of the nfsd is using 6-9% CPU (using the top command). This is slowing down the system considerably.
Any suggestions?

Hi:
I would check out this link; it's a pretty good
NFS checklist.

Thanks for the link, it was really helpfull. We are still experiencing the problem with the nfs daemons consuming CPU. I have identical 3-D370s and 2-D350 systems. On the D370's, the nfs daemons rarely show on the top command but on the last D350 we upgraded, each one of the four daemons is consuming about 4% of CPU. With Oracle running on all systems, it is slowing them tremendously. I talked with HP and they send a document to find out if the system is CPU, memory, disk bound but it seems it is none of the above. We stopped a midaemon daemon which was also consuming about 4% CPU. Any suggestions??

It seems that stopping the measureware agent slowed down the consumption of the CPU by the nfs daemons. I started the mwa again and the CPU usage is still ok. Is the sequence of mwa and nfs daemons startup making the problem here???what is the relationship between them?
