stop and start the swagent
/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

and then try swlist. If still doesn't work check if you have /var/adm/sw or not and directories like products, patch and software

Try to restart swagent daemon by,

# swagentd -r
or
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Did you check the hostname/ip_address??
Do you see any other errors?? Check syslog.log/dmesg
Also do you have /var/adm/sw dir in place and fine?

Hello,

Check your /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf and hostname, Also, check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for any details of swagentd.
