Hi,
We use DLM (using lock value block) for IPC between processes in a
tru64 unix cluster.
Incidentally, we face issues in IPC and we suspect it to be because of
an orphaned dlm lock (in PR mode).
To isolate, we are looking for any command or procedure which will
list out the
details(list of processes holding this lock, the lock modes and
status) about a given dlm lock name.
I tried using the dlm api - dlm_get_rsbinfo, but it lists only the
count of the locks taken but no process info.

Regards,
TSV
