I've never heard of this before.   It does not happen on my Solaris box.
The only thing I can tell you is that mgragentd is the daemon who responds 
to SNMP queries for the NetView MIB.  He populates it with the status of 
the running daemons for use with client-server and to determine which 
other boxes in your network have NetView on them.   He works with snmpdx.
Have you changed the default community name of the box  after installing 
NetView?   Then you probably have to reconfigure the daemon 's acl file in 
/etc/snmp/conf.   That's about all I can tell you.

Hi, everybody.

Anyone does know the solution for this problem?

I stopped mgragentd daemon but there is still defunct processes.

"/usr/OV/bin/mgragentd -f" is the parent process of defunct processes.

I examined status & log file of mgragentd and the result is just normal.


>ovstatus mgragentd

object manager name: mgragentd
behavior:            OVs_NON_WELL_BEHAVED
state:               RUNNING
PID:                 5298
exit status:         -

/usr/OV/log/mgragend.log file size is 12800.
