Here is a rather lengthy message but I thought all the info possible
might help. I communicated my dead-lock problem, which I "solved"
by reinstalling the server via dumpdb, install, loaddb, auditdb. Now
the server does not lock-up but there are errors which have no solution
e.g. unable to delete a volume which was a disk file that no longer exists.
the worst problem is that I can no longer do backups. I get a server
error for several unix clients. So I have no backups for over a week.
The "query actlog" of the current server config is at the very end of this
message . If there is any fix that could help I would greatly appreciate it.
The only other solution that I can currently think of is to delete everything
having to do with adsm from the system, reinstall and start the
configuration from scratch and hope whatever happened never happens
again.
