Storage agent CQMGSTOR and CPU utilization

[David Stephens_1]

Scenario: Windows 2003 Enterprise, SP1 on a bl-20p G2, the dual port FC mezzanine card and Smart Array 5i controller. Running NetBackup v5.1 as a master server and no other apps in use. SIM agents at version 7.40.

The issue I've got is the SIM storage agent (CQMGSTOR.EXE) is consistently using ~20% of the processor. Not a big deal but I could use that 20% when I get several backup threads cranking. Anybody seen this behaviour or have any suggestions?

Has the server been rebooted after 7.40 agents installed, i have seen similar CPU issues after upgading but these have cleared after reboot

The server has been rebooted several times, and the agents were installed at the initial build of the server, so I'm looking elsewhere for a resolution...
