Description of problem: In some windows 7 and XP guests, blnsrv.exe is pegged at 100% cpu usage. Killing this process in the task manager gets the VM to normal. There are no errors reported in the logs. Have asked Customer to disable this service altogether. Why is this process using 100% cpu? What information can we get to find out the reason? How do we proceed? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEV 3.1
Vadim, I am attaching the qemu VM logs for the VMs in question for information on qemu command line. We have requested the Customer for the output of the remaining commands. Will upload it as soon as we get them.
blnsrv.exe which is used for memory statistis is *not* officially supported in RHEL6 according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=798139 .And Virt-QE do not testing the driver/app we do not support So we should remove it from rhev-guest-tools-iso . Mike
should be fixed in build 70

(I personally have never seen it on any of my systems In my understanding there was only one reason why we could get 100% CPU consumption when we fail to get memory statistics and run into busy loop. I have fixed this problem falling into sleep even in WMI query has failed. I was thinking that maybe if QE can reproduce this problem we will be able to perform some sort of live debugging exercises on this problem. Thaks, Vadim. > Thanks, > Mike

Hello, Unfortunately, the Customer has not responded back on our request and the case appears "closed" on account of inactivity for a long period.
