Here's a shot in the dark:
We run AIX 4.3.3 as our TSM server (H50 w/1gb mem) and have run into the 
following anomoly - any user who tries to bring up the admin web gui using 
IE5.0 under Win4.0 workstation generates several "phantom" client sessions, 
indicated by "?" when you do a Q SESS.  More than 2 of these phantoms would 
drive our H50 cpu up to 100% and nail it there.  Cancelling the phantom 
sessions brings things back to normal.  Uprgrading to IE5.5 fixed the problem, 
but we have had scattered problems then bringing up client web sessions.
This might not be your problem but it's worth a check.

Hello,

Has anyone dealt with high CPU utilization problems on an AIX SP node?
Were you able to do anything to reduce the CPU utilization?
This happens during incremental backups.  Other less powerful (fewer
procesors) machines with less memory do not experience this issue.
Are there any commands that can be run from the AIX OS that would help
isolate this?  Can you specify that a given process can only have so much
cpu time?

Hints on how to resolve this kind of situation?
