SAM executes a number of commands on the kernel (/stand/vmunix) to produce the output for the "Configurable Parameters" window. One of these steps may be failing on your server.
The best way to see what SAM is doing is to execute /usr/sam/bin/samlog_viewer -l C /var/sam/log/samlog. This will open a window which extracts the commands executed by SAM. Scroll to the bottom to see what it was doing when it attempted to list the "configurable Parameters" and hopefully it will give you clue as to where it is failing.
SAM does run a number of executables such as kmadmin, kmsystem, kmtune and get_sysfile - some of these on temporary files it creates. One of these may be failing, or it may be failing to generate a temporary file.

SYNOPSIS
cachefslog [-f logfile | -h] cachefs_mount_point
DESCRIPTION
The cachefslog command displays where CacheFS statistics are being logged. Optionally, it sets where CacheFS statistics are being logged,
or it halts logging for a cache specified by cachefs_mount_point. The cachefs_mount_point argument is a mount point of a cache file system.
All file systems cached under the same cache as cachefs_mount_point will be logged.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported. You must be super-user to use the -f and -h options.
-f logfile Specify the log file to be used.
-h Halt logging.
OPERANDS
cachefs_mount_point A mount point of a cache file system.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of cachefslog when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking the Logging of a directory.
The example below checks if the directory /home/sam is being logged:
example% cachefslog /home/sam
not logged: /home/sam
Example 2: Changing the logfile.
The example below changes the logfile of /home/sam to /var/tmp/samlog:
example# cachefslog -f /var/tmp/samlog /home/sam
/var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam
Example 3: Verifying the change of a logfile.
The example below verifies the change of the previous example:
example% cachefslog /home/sam
/var/tmp/samlog: /home/sam
Example 4: Halting the logging of a directory.
The example below halts logging for the /home/sam directory:
example# cachefslog -h /home/sam
not logged: /home/sam
