powermt display shows 'Initialization error'

Question

Hi, Installed Power Path on oracle enterprise linux (2.6.18-53.el5). Have fc connection to cx3-40c with emulex dual hbas. powermt version shows - EMC powermt for PowerPath (c) Version 5.1.0 (build 194) But when I try powermt display I get - Initialization error. and powermt check gives - Error: unable to update device configuration file(s) I have three servers with same installation. On one the Powermt commands are working fine, the other two behave as above. I removed and re-installed the package, but same trouble. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
