OMSA 5 memory usage

Hello,

Sorry, forgot to mention what I am trying to do!

I only wish to access info through SNMP from across a network.
(I don't need to access the OMSA web interface, and am not using ITA.)

I find that I can only access things through snmpwalk if the OMSA services
are running along with Net-SNMP.

Thanks again,
Dave

Subject: OMSA 5 memory usage

Hello all,

I have found some information on mem usage in older versions of OMSA, but
would like to get some updated info from the list about this.

I am running a PE2850 with SUSE SLES9u3 (kernel 2.6.5-7.252-smp...).
I'm running OMSA 5.
I'm starting OMSA services using the srvadmin-services.sh script from Dell.
I have Net-SNMP 5.3.1 as master SNMP agent.

Here are my (related??) questions:
1.) What is "normal" memory consumption for the OMSA services?
2.) Do I HAVE TO run all of the OMSA services, or is there a way to exclude
some of them?

Details:
top output shows the following memory usage-

12117 root      16   0  281m  40m  14m S  0.0  4.0   0:08.14 dsm_om_connsvc3
11782 root      19   0 15492 4516 2704 S  0.0  0.4   0:01.94 dsm_sa_snmp32d

12116 root      20   0  1740  652  560 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.00 dsm_om_connsvc3

(output trimmed to show only OMSA and Net-SNMP stuff.)

It looks to me like OMSA stuff is using some 365 MB of memory...Normal???

I really appreciate any help you all can give on this.
Please let me know any other info needed too.

TIA,
Dave
