James,
Thanks for your quick advice. I have the direction now to go ahead.
Regards,
David

Well, you are downlevel on maintenance, so you could apply 7.1.4
FP05 and see whether that helps, because you will have to be at that
level to pursue this problem with NetView Level 2, which is your next
step.
While I have heard of many daemons being terminated because the
virtual memory is exhausted, and they all terminate on a signal 33
(SIGDANGER), I've never heard of just nvserverd (or any other daemon)
dying because trapd or any other one is using too much memory. I don't
know how you arrived at that conclusion, but it is moot I suppose. If
trapd has a memory leak, you will need to open a problem with NetView
Support and provide them with your evidence. Trapd will have to be run
with the hex dump all packets option (-x) and you'll have to get a
trapd.trace so that they can see what kind of traffic it is handling.
Support will have to recreate the leak in the lab using a memory
management tool to find where it is, and they will need to see your trap
traffic to do it.
If nvserverd is dying, then there should be FFDC data available
for that and you will need to provide that to Level 2 as well.
But trapd and nmdemandpoll are totally unrelated. nmdemandpoll
is a netmon operation and results in a trap being sent to trapd, but it
does not depend on trapd to complete. So perhaps there is more going on
in your system than you know. You will probably have to get a netmon
trace to find out why it is not responding to your demand poll request.
I don't see any way that you can resolve these issues on your
own and you should open a problem to NetView Support.

[NV-L] Trapd takes too much memory
Dear list,
Searched from the history but no success. I have a problem with
trapd takes too much memory. Every day or two, nvserverd is ending
because of this. When I issue command "prstat" I can see that trapd is
"accumulating" taken memory. And the demandpoll is taking too long time
or die. (I don't know if it is the consequence). Need your advice.
NV 7.1.4, FP3, Solaris.
Thanks & regards,
David Liu_______________________________________________
