I've been thinking about this, but if you don't have the package lm_sensors installed then the problem must lie elsewhere.
can you post more info from the "top" command and perhaps install the package sysstat (yum install sysstat -y) and try some test on your box.
try to use iostat and "vmstat 5 5" and post your results here.
Your system looks OK, besides kipmi0 using 99.8% (it's only using 1 core not all CPU)
In general your system is using 12.5% or 12.6% (average)and sometimes uses .12% on IOWAIT which is not a bad number either.
If you could post the exit of this command:
#ps -feaux > /root/process.txt
and the upload that file, we could check the process kipmi0 and any other process that could be making kipmi0 to use that much memory.
The process "pciehpd" is related to hot-plug and that is what causing kipmi0 to use that much CPU.
Maybe some piece of hardware attached recently or the service didn't update cleanly when you update your system.
One question I have not asked yet is if you have rebooted your system after the update?
Hi Sire,
I am sorry kind of new into this area. So which of the previous commands best to be used to monitor the IOWAIT. IOTWait signify that there is delay in the harddisk rite? I am sure there is no additionaly hardware attached to this machine. Possible the service didnt update cleanly. How ensure that there is a clean update cause I just run yum update always thats it. Normally I dont reboot. But there was once I reboot last month but after reboot is ok then slowly it again hike to this values. I am curious how do you linked pciehpd to kipmi0? Actually what is the exact role of kipmi0.
The option "f" for the PS command shows all process with their parent and child process.
So there you have the process "pciehpd" which is a parent process for the "kipmi0" process, you can see the relationships between process with the lines drawn to the left of the process name.
Hi sire,
Actually I have visited all the given links via google and non of it working e.g. service ipmi stop also is not working. I am quite lost on how to exactly solve this? Do you think a reboot again will help? Any way to ensure a clean yum update?
Hi,
I thought maybe a reboot could help, but if you have already done it, and then the process keeps hogging CPU then that is not a solution.
Of all the links I've read kipmi0 is related to IPMI, which is a set usually used to monitor hardware or used by some applications to monitor some process.
From the links I posted on my previous post, the IBM one says that it does not matter if kipmi is reporting high CPU usage, but it only runs on idle time and is standard behavior for this process.
