I had yesterday the same problem.
The kill -9 to process pmd can't help. I must reboot the AIX.
My environment was also AIX 4.3.2.

Betreff: [NV-L] ovstop does not complete
runnning Netview 6, AIX 4.3.2.0
I need some assistance in resolving the following matter:
1. All is okay if we start the Netview daemons, ovstart, and issue nv6000
to
start the gui.
We wait for the synchronization to complete then shutdown all the gui's
and
issue an ovstop.
The ovstop takes about 2-5 minutes to complete.
2. now if we repeat step1 above with the exception of shutting down gui's
and issue an ovstop and let netview
run for a day or two before shutting netview down, then the ovstop
process
does not complete.
When I canceled it, CTRL-C, I got "ovspmd: stop: aborting"
"ovstop: unable to receive status message from ovspmd: Connection timed
out"
2.1 Following is the output , ps -ef|grep OV, of the Netview processes :
root 11404 22452 98 Jun 01 - 1009:42
/usr/OV/bin/pmd -Au -At -Mu -Mt -m
root 21948 1 0 Jun 01 - 0:00 /usr/OV/bin/ntl_reader 0 1

root 22452 1 0 Jun 01 - 0:32 /usr/OV/bin/ovspmd

root 24266 22452 0 Jun 01 - 0:00 /usr/OV/bin/nvsecd -O
Note: I followed the documentation applicable to our setup in the Release
Notes. I have not done much customization except for the netmon.seed file
which excludes non-snmp objects. This is not an upgrade from 5.1.2 it is
a
new installation.
I need to know what to look for in order to resolve the problem that
prevents ovstop to complete.
