The host on which I stopped the HP agents looked good for the first four hours: hostd RAM usage stayed about 80 to 90 MB. But over night it climbed over 200 MB again. So, the HP agents are at least not the only reason for the increased RAM usage.

I also do not see a relation with the Hardware Health display in VirtualCenter: We have theProcHot warning on our DL585 G2 servers, but not on the DL585 G1 servers. However, the hostd RAM usage problem occurs on both of them.
