James,

ovstop is hanging at times from the command line.  nvsecd is still running,
so it looks like that is the daemon it is hanging on.  If I reboot the box,
I can then ovstart/ovstop once or twice ok, but then ovstop hangs.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff

Does it also hang from the command line, outside of your script?
I don't know why ovspmd should hang, unless he is still waiting for some
other daemon to stop (nvsecd has to come down first), or the message he's
waiting for got lost when you called this script inside your own script.
In any case, NetView 4.1 is too old even for me to find a good maintenance
history on.
But  nv6000_smit clear_topology_db_all is itself a script, and you can
trace it yourself if you haven't already.
  You don't even have to edit the script if you export
NV_TRACE=nv6000_smit  first.

Has anyone ever had a problem running nv6000_smit clear_topology_db_all?
I am trying to run this from within a script, and it hangs during the
first
ovstop.  It looks like it is a problem with ovspmd.  If I kill -9 ovspmd,
then the clear continues, other the ovstop just sits there..

NV 4.1
AIX 4.1.5

I know these are dinosaurs, but it's what I have in the field at the
moment.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff
