svmon error 2

[prv3116]

Has anyone had any experience with this svmon error? Same result regardless of options used. (svmon or svmon -P pid or svmon -G etc)

svmon internal error: 0x0008 : init_dev_table ccurence = 1 errno = 2

I have a B80 that this is occurring on. In comparing it to an identical server I have confirmed they both AIX4.3.3 ML8. Same filesets installed, same settings in "lsattr -El sys0" and "mem0". Both have 1 gig memory, same firmware levels.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled perfagent.tools, rebooted, still get error on one of the servers. Nothing shows up in the error log. Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic.

problem with dev directory. Check permissions, look at contents of directory. make sure that no links setup in this direcotry.
ex. link in dev to an oracle .dbf may cause this problem.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you so much! I have exhausted all I knew to figure this thing out and then thought of posting the question here.

I found the following in /dev
fd0@ -> /fd01/fd0
I moved it out of the way temporarily and svmon worked like a charm. Found out the fd0 was bogus anyway.
