Already i tried with,

#kill -9

but the result is same, process is still runnging, and using 100% CPU.

Typically a process you can't kill -9 is hung and isn't using any CPU. What does "ps -fp 26108" show?

kill -9

example:-

kill -9 26108

Rgds,

Hi,

Thanks for your kind sugesstion , we have resolved this issue.

If kill -9 doesn't work on the process, there is nothing you can do but reboot. Do you see any tape or disk activity?
I suppose you could try using renice to lower its priority.

Hi,

can you try this,

or

killall -- kill processes by name

mt -f /dev/rmt/1mn status
mt -f /dev/rmt/1mn rewind
mt -f /dev/rmt/1mn offline

than try kill -9 "Just try only"
