Issue/Introduction
The command vxlist is typically used for Veritas Operations Manager (VOM) discovery. There are times when this command may be run at the command line to inspect it's output and/or when troubleshooting VOM. In this case, vxlist hung and eventually displays the timeout message below. This was due to the DCLI server being hung because Volume Manager was seeing disks in an error state (typically due to OS formatting or hardware issues) .
