When you say the command shows nothing, do you mean that it hangs? Or it returns to a prompt with no output?

Are you disks mounted? If so, you are ok for now, unless you oexpact some component failure soon.

If the disks are not mounted, try a /sbin/init.d/spinit stop and /sbin/init.d/spinit start.

If the disks are mounted, work through your other problem. Is this a new install of SecurePath?

Have you tried stopping/starting spinit?

#spagent -k

Verify that it is killed

#ps -ef | grep sp

#/sbin/init.d/spinit start

----------------------------

After the above - tell me, were you able to kill the spagent?

Retry your spmgr display... any change?

Hi Tonya

can I restart the spinit with the disk mounted??

Yes...

I'm assuming this is an HP-UX server.

Can you see the LUNs via ioscan -fnCdisk?

Do you see any errors in syslog? dmesg?

Yes I can see the LUNs, but in syslog and dmesg not show errors.

Victor,

Just start by stopping and starting securepath with the spinit commands we have given you. (They need to do some work on 3.0F, I think.) I have had to do this a couple of times on the 2 machines I have installed this release for. (You would think that if they were going to require this release for certain SAN enclosures to be used, they would make sure it didn't have any bugs...)
