PA_ process consuming cpu

[surjeet singh_2]

I have rp5470 running HPUX11.0 , i see a process 'PA_' which is consuming good cpu time , even after killing it re appears . How to stop this process?

Hello,

It could be due to Performance agent discovery. You can take a look at this thread for more information.

Shalom surjeet,

Process re-appears when you kill it. Must be spawned by a daemon.

If it is collecting performance data it should not be having a major impact on your system.

I would look into patching it.

Hi Surjeet,

Pls check if your system has OpenView Performance Agent ?

If it is installed it may run some proces like PA_discovery... but it shouldnt take SUCH resource utilisation. pls chek the OVPA config and if required try stopping it and check.

Regards,

Siva.
