Issue 4 Description An HP ProLiant server operating in a Microsoft Windows environment and loading the HP Insight Management Agents for Windows Version 7.40 may experience high CPU utilization, resulting in degraded system performance. CPU utilization may reach 50 to100 percent and remain high on multiprocessor systems. Systems with a single CPU may reach 100 percent. A call responsible for the memory code initialization process from the Server Agents in PSP 7.40 to the Windows Health driver becomes trapped in an endless loop, causing the processor utilization to rise.
