Don't believe this an OS process. You need to figure out what application owns this process and then figure how to best handle. You may get some hit for this process's parent process

It says wbem and HPHealthStateProviderModule and those look like HP-UX specific processes.

Hello,

This is a process used by SIM/diagnostics software (maybe Sup-Tool-Mgr - Diagnostics and Support Tools ...)

cimprovider -l -s should list all the active modules on your system.

Hi navin


It's simple. Please restart the cim server :


/sbin/init.d/cim_server


If the process continue to have impact the performance of your server please reply. It is not usual.


Regards.
