Sam hangs up on logical volume display

[TIM WILSON]

We are on an HP9000 with HPUX 10.20 and every time I try to display logical volumes, sam hangs up. All I can do is ctrl Z to stop the job and I end up with a process that cannot be killed. I am not sure if I need an os patch. I believe I am current. Lvdisplay works fine and so does lvcreate. Any advice would be appreciated. I am logged into root and I have not had this problem in the past. No permissions have changed.

Let me know whether "df" command hungs or not.

[TIM WILSON]

df does not hang...its output is normal.

Does lvdisplay work from the command line.

one way is run bdf and use the device information for
vgdisplay -v /dev/vg00 will show logical and physical
lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol3 as an example
This is not an answer, I know, but it gathers additional information.

lvdisplay works fine and I am able to get info that I need from the command line but sam should not be hanging up.

How long do you let SAM sit before you CTRL-Z and kill it?

I have quite a number of disks on my K460 (48 disks and 2 AutoRaid 12Hs) and T500 (40 disks) and it it took 2 minutes on the K460 and 2 minutes on the T500 to bring up the Logical Volumes area.

Have you tried just letting it sit for a while and see if anything ever happens?

Please check "/usr/sam/lbin/vginfo -l" for all logical devices. e.g.
/usr/sam/lbin/vginfo -l /dev/vg00/lvol1
.....

If previous command successfully, then please check /usr/bin/bdf.
It it work, then please check
/usr/sbin/swapinfo -fdmrt
and /sbin/lvlnboot -v
If these previous command work fine(not hung, then I suppose permission was changed in /dev/dsk(drwxr-xr-x) or there exist /dev/dsk/disk_query file(if it exist, then delet it).

With regards,
