OMSA 5 memory usage

Thu Sep 21 16:54:59 CDT 2006

Thanks for your help! Editing the script did the trick nicely.

For the benefit of others, what I did was make a copy of the script under a
new name, and remove the ${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_OMAWSD} from the following
sections:

# list of services start
arrayStart=(${PROCESS_NAME_LSI_INIT_MPTCTL} ${PROCESS_NAME_RAC4_INIT_RACSVC}
${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_INSTSVCDRV} ${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_DATAENG}
${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_OMSAD} ${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_OMAWSD}
${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACSER} ${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACVNC}
${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACSRVC})

# list of services to stop
arrayStop=(${PROCESS_NAME_RAC4_INIT_RACSVC} ${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_OMSAD}
${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_OMAWSD} ${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACSER}
${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACVNC} ${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACSRVC}
${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_DATAENG} ${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_INSTSVCDRV})

# list of services to find status
arrayStatus=(${PROCESS_NAME_RAC4_INIT_RACSVC}
${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_INSTSVCDRV} ${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_DATAENG}
${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_OMSAD} ${PROCESS_NAME_OMSA_INIT_OMAWSD}
${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACSER} ${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACVNC}
${PROCESS_NAME_RAC3_INIT_RACSRVC})

Now, running the new script starts/stops/restart/stats all but the
dsm_sa_connsvc process.

Thank you again,
Dave

Short of editing the script I don't think there is. On some systems you
may just be able to use the dataeng service... But I would generally
recommend sticking with the srvadmin script and just editing any
components you don't want.

Patrick,

Thank you for the quick response!

Is there a way to exclude the dsm_om_connsvc in the srvadmin-services.sh
script, or should I just run srvadmin-services.sh start and then kill
the dsm_om_connsvc manually? (Or is there some better method??)

Thanks,
Dave

The dsm_om_connsvc is the webserver so if you don't use the web
interface you can safely get rid of that. The other services are needed
for SNMP and traps to function.

Hope that helps,

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

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
12014 root      17   0 38400 4172 2504 S  0.0  0.4   0:07.28
dsm_sa_datamgr3
11780 root      16   0  5812 4064 2048 S  0.0  0.4   0:00.59 snmpd
12058 root      25   0 23620 2580 2184 S  0.0  0.2   0:00.00
dsm_om_shrsvc32
12034 root      25   0  5812 2108 1696 S  0.0  0.2   0:00.18
dsm_sa_eventmgr
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
