I've never had that problem with 3.2 and later, but did 
see this type of behaviour in previous versions.

when this happens, try executing this command

$NBUHOME/bin/admincmd/bpschedreq -read_stunits

Like I said this shouldn't hanging and if it persists 
you should open a call with Veritas, as it may be a 
symptom of something bigger.

Incidentally, are you using AIT by chance.
