SAM error

kk_4 — Wed, 13 Feb 2002 05:34:42 GMT

hi,
I am facing one problem in hpux 11.0.Whenever i execute sam and reach up to "Disks and Filesystem" and after that i click logical volumes i get the following error

.............................................
ERROR
could be caused by a number of strange occurrences. It is best to
remove the file and attempt the operation again. The error occurred
in the file "(filename unknown)" on or before line number 1.

.................................................

any clue which file is having a problem.

thnks

Hi,

A couple of things to try first.

Can you run these without any errors:

# vgdisplay -v

# lvdisplay -v /dev/vgXX/yourlv
for each logical volume in the group you were trying to look at.

Failing any errors, suggest you load the latest SAM cumulative patch and any dependencies as well as LVM patches for your
operating system version.

Hi,

If someone has removed files under
/var/sam there is not telling what
could occur. Please post a copy of
the contents of /var/sam so it can
be viewed and compared. It could be
that the /var/sam/log directory or
the samlog file underneath have been
removed.

You can find the patches from this
starting point.

Fine ,i am putting a file varsam.tar.Z which is the copy of /var/sam.

That won't work....

From /var/sam do this

# ls -R

and list the contents

Hi,

check /var/sam/log/samlog for last command sam executing.
install sam cumulative patch , find out information about patch in individual patch section under maintenance and support.

The boot.config file is used by SAM to make references into the kernel. It could be that during the start of your SAM session of LVM, the program was trying to utilise this file, hence the error.
