HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? PROBLEM IN SAM?
CONFIGURATION PROBLEM VA7100?

[Bernhard Mueller · Accepted solution]

Jan,

on the command line run
armdiscover (takes a while)
then armdsp -i
this should list any VA

Then try SAM again, if it fails look for latest SAM patches.

Jan,

looks like somethings not running as supposed. Easy alternative would be to re-install CommandView, unfortunately I do not have a system with a VA available so I cannot check what startup scripts are used. Maybe you want to go through /etc/rc.log an check yourself for hints.
