Hi All,

I got mail from one of HP UX 11.0 server says that " Server Predictive Support did not run" ?

# ps -ef|grep psmond
root 1831 1 0 Jun 16 ? 0:08 /opt/pred/bin/psmond
root 8405 8379 1 20:25:40 pts/ta 0:00 grep psmond

hi Viswan,

Predictive is used to our HP tools to monitor your realtime system hardware event and notification, unfortunately it has already replaced by ISEE.

HP ISEE enables us to deliver remote support services to you over the Internet that supplement your on-site support contract. ISEE provides real-time hardware event monitoring and notification to help identify and prevent potential critical problems. Should a problem occur, ISEE enables faster restoration of your supported systems and devices, using remote diagnostic and repair scripts and direct remote secure access by an HP support engineer. Faster problem resolution and reduced system downtime translates into fewer disruptions to your companyâ s revenue generating activities and business productivity


To shut down and unconfigure Predictive, run 'psmond -k' to kill
the daemon and configure the /etc/rc.config.d/predictive file to equal 0
instead of 1. This will keep it from restarting if the server is rebooted..
