[cisco-voip] IBM Director CPU hog

[Andre Beck]

Hi,

on a IBM x346 running CCM 4.1 I've found processes twgagent.exe and
pegsunprv.exe to eat away a significant amount of CPU time. When sorting
by total CPU time and ignoring the idle task they are on places 2 and 3
of the top processes and each of them has aquired almost *twenty* *times*
the CPU time of the CCM process. I don't want to tolerate this, as the
machine has more relevant tasks for the CPU (especially it has to serve
a significant amount of MTPs).

The two processes likely belong to the IBM Director Agent, some management
solution agent that seems to be automatically installed by the MCS setup
procedures for this platform (at least neither me nor the customer have
installed this component explicitely).

Anyone know what this stuff is good for? Is it mandatory (like on some
platforms, without agents, fan control goes bad and fans run 100% all
the time, or for even more relevant stuff like monitoring the onboard
RAID and doing necessary things when a disk fails) or can I get rid of
that unwanted load? If so, how? Deinstall the Agent? Setting the services
to disabled?

TIA,
Andre.
