swinstall hangs
I have a HP-UX B.11.11 box and i have mounted
a file system remotely on it. The remotely mounted file system contains some ".depot" file which I need to install.
On issuing the following command:--
swinstall -s
I am getting the following message:--
======= 03/23/03 21:45:41 IST BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=ldap-h34-1411)
* Session started for user "root@ldap-h34".
* Beginning Selection
* Target connection succeeded for "ldap-h34:/".
and it stays there and does not proceed further. Since I am new to HP I am unable to predict what has gone wrong. The same command works fine on another HP UX box which too has the same filesystem mounted remotely. The logs have not shown any error messages
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
With Regards
Sunil

Re: swinstall hangs
Can you enter into the mounted directory and look at the contents?. NFS may be hanging. Look for "NFS Server Not responding" messages in dmesg.
Either you can copy .depot file from the remote system onto the local one or prepare a depot on the remote system and then access it through swinstall. To make it as a standard depot, do the following on the remote system.
#cd /where_the_depot_is
#mkdir depot
#cd depot
#tar xvf ../yourproduct.depot
#touch catalog/swlock
#swreg -l depot /(full path to the depot directory you created)
On the local system, invoke 'swinstall' interactive session. Select the target system as the remote system and the target directory as the above.

Re: swinstall hangs
check you can write as root on the NFS mounted directory
Use the -x write_remote_files=true option in the swinstall command.
# swinstall -x write_remote_files=true -s
Kind regards,
Robert-Jan.

Re: swinstall hangs
A different investigation path is to look at your local swagent.log file for information.
What is the nature of the depot you are trying to install.

Re: swinstall hangs
swinstall -s hostname:/sd_depot/ux_appl_UX_SYSAD
Regarding your hanging problem wiht swinstall, its not unusal for SD-UX to hang, it happens to everyone. Here are some basic debug commands:
mwa stop (* mostly obsolete with 11.00 *)
swagentd -k (* stop SD-UX daemon *)
Check for and remove
rm /var/adm/sw/products/swlock
swagentd -r (* restart *)
"rpccp show mapping" (* If this hangs then call HP Response Center or reboot *)
Permission on /etc/hosts = 664
nslookup hostname (* of server *)
nslookup ip (* verify *)
/etc/resolv.conf (* verify *)
