These are EMS monitoring services. Do man on each of those to know more details.

Irfan,

You to have a few of those truncated:
- dm_TL_ada is in fact dm_TL_adapter (FC adapter monitor for Models A5158A, A6684A, A6685A, and the A6795A Fibre Channel Adapter cards )
- dm_FCMS_a is in fact dm_FCMS_adapter (FC adapter for Fibre Channel Adapter Models A3404A, A3591A, A3636A, A3740A)
- dm_core_h is in fact dm_core_hw (core hw monitor)
- dm_ses_en is in fact dm_ses_enclosure (monitor for SCSI enclosure)
- sysstat_e is in fact sysstat_em (system status monitor)

(Didn't spot this thread sooner, as I don't normally monitor the networking area.)

These are, as others have said, some of the EMS Hardware Monitors. They report events that are detected by the device drivers, and in some cases also periodically check the status of the hardware they are monitoring.

You will also see some daemons running that are related; diagmond, diaglogd, memlogd and cclogd, p_client. The actual set of monitors (and daemons) that you see running on a system will depend on the type of system and what hardware is connected to it (in general, you won't see a monitor running if there is no hardware for it to report on).

By default, both the daemons and HW monitors are started at boot time.
