System load by HP-SNMP-Agents is high

  • 772

After installing the hp-snmp-agents on my proliant server, I noticed the system load never goes below 1. Is this normal behavior, or is it possible to reduce the load of the HP tools?

Update: the server is a HP Proliant DL360 G3, running Linux. The hp-snmp-agents package is version 8.2.0, installed from the smartstart CD. System firmware is upgraded to 8.0

    We'll want a bit of detail here, but I have a good idea of what your issue is. First, I'll assume that you're using Linux (due to the reference to load). Next, I'd like to know which version of the HP agents you're using. Are you using a version earlier than 8.60? If that's the case, the problem is probably due to the Lights-Out Driver agents.

    In short, you'll want to stop the HP management agents with /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents stop. Edit the exclude line in /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/cma.conf from:

    exclude
    to
    exclude cmasm2d cpqriisd cmarackd

    Start your agents again with /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents start

    Please see: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-Netservers/Proliant-Support-Pack-8-20-gt-Load-always-at-1/td-p/1069560

    Also respond with your details. Which Proliant model is this? These issues were resolved in the 8.60 variant of the agents. As usual, it will also make sense to update your firmware and use the newest version of the agents.

    Proliant firmware and management software (by model).
