What HP-UX version do you have?
What do "ulimit -a" and "kctune | grep maxdsiz" show?

You wrote

sh: /usr/sbin/vgdisplay: There is not enough memory available to run the command.
# ll /sbin/vgdisplay



These are 2 different binaries, one in /sbin, the other in /usr/sbin


Try both, same result?

Try "file" or "what" on both.

Please check swap & memory usage using

swapinfo -tam ( paste the output )

& dmesg | grep -i physical ( for RAM size )

usage can be checked using TOP & GLANCE

Hello,

Check your ulimit settings, I think that you are limited by ulimit.

# ulimit -a

You can't have data at 1 Mb. You need to increase it to at least 1 Gb.

Hi,

This will set the data limit to 256MByte:

# ulimit -d 262144
