Hi, when running ipmitool on a Sun X4100 server (see below for details), I see that the cpu load, mainly kernel, on the machine reaches 100% and more (4 cpu machine).
Can you explain why ipmitool consumes that much cpu ? Is this normal ? If not, what can be done to prevent this high cpu usage, or can I submit a bug/feature request in order to have this improved/corrected ? bt0t79:/usr/sfw/bin> ./ipmitool -I bmc sensor list sys.id | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0200| na | na | na | na | na | na sys.intsw | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0000| na | na | na | na | na | na sys.psfail | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0200| na | na | na | na | na | na sys.tempfail | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0100| na | na | na | na | na | na sys.fanfail | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0100| na | na | na | na | na | na mb.t_amb | 31.000 | degrees C | ok | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 35.000 | 40.000 | 45.000 mb.v_bat | 3.104 | Volts | ok | 2.400 | 2.592 | 2.688 | 3.392 | 3.600 | 3.792 ... load averages: 0.23, 0.05, 0.02; up 22+03:41:55 17:28:19 89 processes: 87 sleeping, 2 on cpu CPU states: 74.6% idle, 0.0% user, 25.4% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap Memory: 8064M phys mem, 6683M free mem, 4103M swap, 4103M free swap PID USERNAME LWP PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 19775 jorisf 1 0 0 3748K 1372K cpu 0:21 103% ipmitool 19776 jorisf 1 47 4 2476K 1480K cpu 0:00 0.06% top 3192 oracle 1 59 0 393M 295M sleep 3:54 0.04% oracle 3210 oracle 1 59 0 393M 303M sleep 3:49 0.02% oracle 3204 oracle 11 59 0 393M 300M sleep 2:37 0.02% oracle Thanks & Regards, Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
