unable to start sam in hp-ux 11.11

[andysys]

HI
I have HPserver box with HP_UX 11.11 installed on it.
I am unable to start sam.It shows below error message.

The file "/var/sam/lock/lock_ti" could not be locked (errno = 45,"Lockf deadlock detection&quot.This file must be lockable so that this SAM session can be locked. Otherwise, other SAM sessions won't be able to detect that this SAM session is running on the system.

Also I am not able to view vgdisplay. Shows following error
message --

# vgdisplay /dev/vg02
vgdisplay: /etc/lvmconf//lvm_lock: Lockf deadlock detection

I checked with permissions of lock directory & log files.
Even though I am unable to view output of vgdisplay,I am able to see output od bdf & able to access all logical volumes under the volume groups.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Andy

For the sam problem, try deleting the file /var/sam/lock/lock_ti. I've had the problem of not being able to get back into sam if I killed my session (didn't exit in the normal way). Don't know about the vgdisplay problem. Were you trying to create a VG or LV and abort it in the middle of the creation?

Thanks bi for ur prompt reply.
Actually I tried that deletinglock_ti file option.But it didn't work.
Rebooted the machine & problem got resolved.

Thanks once again.
