HP-UX 11.0 : Initializing SAM hangs for minutes

[Thomas Pohlen]

Hi all,

on my HP-Ux 11.0 K-Class box, sam -r works but sam doesnt initialise during startup.

Patch PHCO_23876 is installed.

No SAM errors are in /var/adm/sw/swagent.log

sar -v 5 5 :

For me, file-sz seems to be ok.

Did anybody experience the same ?

Thanks a lot for every answer.

Kind Regards, Tomb

Check your /var/sam/log/samlog and see what SAM is trying to do when it starts up. I remember a post awhile back where SAM was trying to build some NIS+ maps, but NIS was supposed to be turned off...except nobody told SAM.

Anyway it may help to see what SAM is trying to do when it starts up..

It's a thought,
Rita

Well..I found that thread I mentioned...looks like your problem is the same...
Denver Osborne mentioned you need to stop NIS+, and suggested loading patch PHNE_17200.
Here's the thread for you to check out also:
