We examine Killing spinor equations of the general eleven-dimensional pp-wave backgrounds, which contain a scalar H(xᵐ,x-) in the metric and a three-form ξ(xᵐ,x-) in the flux. Considering non-harmonic extra Killing spinors, we show that if the backgrounds admit at least one extra Killing spinor in addition to the standard 16 Killing spinors, they can be reduced to the form with H=Amn(x-)xᵐxⁿ and ξ(x-) modulo coordinate transformations. We further examine the cases in which the extra Killing spinor is characterized by a set of Cartan matrices. The super-isometry algebras of the resulting backgrounds are also derived.
