High CPU load vmwarelm.exe

Hi folks!

The license manager on my virtual Virtual Center generates high CPU load after some time. I will have to restart the VMware License Server to get this problem fixed.

Does anybody has the same issue?

Best regards,

Stephan

Yeah, noticed this in my environment...

  1. Stop VMware License Manager

  2. Start VMware License Manager and make sure CPU load dropped to normal levels

Just noticed that with our vCentre too, was running at 50% then dropped to 1% after a restart of the services.

More info: Its a VM Virtualcentre server running 2.5.0.64247

I've had this 3 times in the last week in the middle of the night. My vCenter server with License Manager is also a VM - 2.5 Build 147633. I'm getting tired of getting called in the middle of the night so I'm going to open an S/R. I'll let you know what I find.

VMware wants me to: re-create my license file, remove the License Server and download & install the new License Server with the new license file. Since we are almost ready to update to vSphere I don't see the need to do this so we are just going to stop & start the license service (vmwarelm.exe) when needed.

Interestingly we seem to have started seeing this issue on 2.5.0 build 174768. I don't recall ever seeing it before we updated to this version of Virtual Center. Restarting the service also seems to resolve the issue for us.

Cheers,

Steve
