High CPU Consumption due TEM / BES Client on AIX

(imported topic written by hosmar)

Does anyone know why do we have high CPU consumption on the servers during certain time?

(imported comment written by AlanM)

Can you be more specific?

What client version do you have? Does the log indicate anything is being done (perhaps patching?)

Is this a Physical machine or an LPAR?

Hi Alan, its an LPAR with V 8.2. As soon I check the logs will report my findings.

In the log i can see this very frequently.

This log is suggesting that the client is having a hart time talking to its relay so you may want to contact support to see what is going on regarding that.

Also does the LPAR use a fractional CPU or is a complete CPU assigned?
