HP-UX 11.11 SAM no longer displaying configurable parameters

I have a big problem with this "security group"
First, let me say that you can use kmtune with the -r option to reset them to the default value. Try this for all configurable parameters or any other kernel parms that may be changed and then apply these changes. Maybe that will help. You may have to reset all parms to the default and then restore from your OLD kernel that was in use before these problems started.
kmtune(1M)
NAME
kmtune - query, set, or reset system parameter
-r name
Reset the value of a system parameter to the default.
Now, let me say that I agree with Perderabo. Regrettably, you may need to reinstall or if possible, have your "security group " remove the patches, if that is even possible.
As an Admin, this really upsets me. I have a real problem with anyone installing patches on my box that aren't thoroughly tested on a similar test box.
For them to install untested or at least undetermined patches is a very serious problem for me. Even though it seems to be a small problem to some, if that had happened at my company, someone would be reprimanded for this type of action. In reality, this may be a much more serious problem because it might cause you to have to incur downtime to repair damage caused by another group. I don't know what sway you have, but I would let someone know that I am very displeased with the possible consequences of this security patch.
They may see this as a small problem, but I hope you will let them know the gravity and the principle of this issue, installing patches without having tested them or not knowing what the impact of same is or how to fall back and remove them.
Please keep us informed on what your resolution is for this.
