Unexpected Exit error while creating an LV using SAM

Thomas J Dicks — Thu, 09 May 2002 10:43:21 GMT

Greetings, My Much Learned Friends. I try to create an LV using sam and get the following error:
UNEXPECTED EXIT; process /usr/sam/lbin/samx -C -p 2344 -s fs_sa_lv /usr/sam/lib//fs.ui exited with a non-zero exit status.

sh: 7683 Bus error
This happens no matter which vg I select (I have 4vg's residing on 4 different HP 12H Arrays) I've already re-installed SAM and I get the same error. Anyone have any suggestions?

hi,
check the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file for any error after this.
did you try LV creation through command line , any errors ?

Hi Thomas,

Have you tried the latest SAM/OBAM patch.

for 11.0,

http://us-support.external.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDisplayPatch/sid=9b1a736b00f1151394?PACH_NAM=PHCO_23876&HW=s800&OS=11.00

for 10.20,

http://us-support.external.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDisplayPatch/sid=bfbd9690153f2d3602?PATCH_PATH=/hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_22268&HW=s800&OS=10.20

What happens if you try to create the lc using command lines,

lvcreate -n lv_name /dev/vg_name
lvextend -L lv_size /dev/vg_name/lv_name
newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg_name/rlv_name

Hope this helps.

Sorry,
I forgot to mention I have no problem doing it from command line.

Hi Thomas,

This is certainly to do with the SAM/OBAM patch.

I had faced the same problem and it got rectified by installing this patch.

Please search for the patch on the http://us-support.external.hp.com site for your release of HP-UX and install it.

Cheers.
