iinamu refers to the remote command server as RMCMD not MGMTSVR as you
would think. Here's what I see on one of my boxes:

RMCMD     *               33603
STAR      *               41865
DASVR     *               35219
COMSVR    *               34401
INGRES    *               43787 (sole server)
IUSVR     *               38803
IINMSVR   *               33845
