Problem using sam

[David Mallette_1]

I think I did a big mistake. I have restored a full backup of /usr from another
HP-UX 10.20 server to a new one fresh installed with HP-UX 10.20. But of course
/usr/sam has been overwrited and I think it's why sam doesn't work anymore. I'm
able to start sam but as soon as I go to a sub-menu, I get this kind of error:

UNEXPECTED EXIT: process LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/sam/lbin/samx -C -p 1716 -s
fs_sa_lv /usr/sam/lib//fs.ui exited with a non-zero exit status.

And in the file /var/sam/log/samlog, it looks like the following lines:

Tue Mar 9 09:52:52 1999 Entering SAM area "Disks and File Systems (lamdev)".

Is there a way the fix this problem? Can I reinstall only sam from the HP-UX
10.20?

Thank you for your help.

David.

I believe you can reinstall or update all filesets using the install/core os
cd. I actually did this a while back, but am not sure of the process. Mount the
CD, and see what happens. Also ... I would NOT use SAM for any LVM or
filesystem activities, things do not go very well, and you fotget the command
line functions anyway.

1. Mount cd "install and core"
2. swinstall
3. menu View -> change software view -> start products
4. Select on the "Name" list "SystemAdmin"
5. menu Action -> Mark for Install
6. menu Action again -> Install

good luck !
