This can be resolved by configuring the Power Agent to disable collection of the XMAP metrics. To disable XMAP metrics make the following change: ========================================================= For 6.1.x Power Agents, change this line in agentmgr.conf CONFIG EnableXmap YES; to this: CONFIG EnableXmap NO; ========================================================= For 6.2.x agents change this line in agent.xml <ENABLEXMAP USE_AUTO="true">false</ENABLEXMAP> to this: <ENABLEXMAP USE_AUTO="false">false</ENABLEXMAP> This is the second instance of this line in the file. It comes a few lines after this line: <AGENTMGR USE_AUTO="false" TEMPLATE="false"> ========================================================= Symptoms Agentmgr uses excessive processor power on Solaris. Usually seen on Solaris 2.6. Cause Monitoring XMAP per-process metrics can cause excessive CPU activity. On Solaris 2.6 the Power Agent default is to enable XMAP metrics. On Solaris 7, 8 and 9 the Power Agent default is to disable XMAP metrics, so this problem is unlikely to be encountered with these Power Agents.
