At the time of patching I encountered a error and I wanted to check the version of yum on TEM server and the server which is going to patched.
But found that neither the rpm or yum commands are working & session was getting hang.
#yum info yum or # rpm -qa |grep -i yum
session was hanging
In such case, check whether any lock is created under
/var/lib/rpm/ & if it is there remove it because these locks are creating problem while running rpm commands.
1. # ls -lrt /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
-rw------- 1 root root 753664 Dec 9
07:05 __db.004
-rw------- 1 root root 1318912 Dec 9 07:05
__db.003
-rw------- 1 root root 24576
Dec 9 09:02 __db.001
-rw------- 1 root root 237568 Dec 9
09:05 __db.002
2. # rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
3. # ls -lrt /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
4. rpm commands and yum commands will run now.
Thanks,
