Getting into SAM while in Single-User Mode

[Andre Lemon]

Good Morning, How do I get into SAM while I am in single user mode?

[Pete Randall]

Andre,

First you need to mount /usr:

mount -a
sam


Pete

[DCE]

try issuing mount -a before running sam

[Olivier Masse · Accepted solution]

I suggest you go up to run level 1, as sam might depend on one of more services.

If you need single user, you could try this but I don't know if it will work:

# fsck /dev/vg00/[raw lvol which has /usr]
# mount /usr
# fsck /dev/vg00/[raw lvol which has /var]
# mount /var
# /usr/sbin/sam

If you get an error, try starting whatever service might be missing, and retry.

Good luck

Olivier, that worked like a charm. Thanks.

Thanks to you as well Pete.
