Remote installation of ignite products (swacl)

Michael Petersen_2 — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 06:14:59 GMT

Hi !

I have an ignite server called Falcon, which also acts as out software depot server. From that server I want to push out a new version of ignite to another server called eagle. The depot on falcon is made and reg'ed, eagle can see it
micpe@eagle[ /home/micpe ]>swlist -s falcon:/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery B5725AA
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "falcon"...
#
# Target: falcon:/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery
#

# B5725AA C.6.9.150 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
B5725AA.Ignite-UX C.6.9.150 HP-UX System Installation Services
# B5725AA C.6.6.93 HP-UX Installation Utilities (Ignite-UX)
B5725AA.Ignite-UX C.6.6.93 HP-UX System Installation Services

When I try
swinstall -s falcon:/var/opt/ignite/depots/recovery Ignite-UX @ eagle

I get this error.

ERROR: "eagle:/": You do not have the required permissions to select
this target. Check permissions using the "swacl" command or
see your system administrator for assistance. Or, to manage

I have tried on eagle to play with the swacl and it looks like this now

micpe@eagle[ /home/micpe ]>s swacl -l host
#
# swacl Host Access Control List
#
# For host: eagle
#
# Date: Thu Oct 19 13:14:23 2006
#

# Object Ownership: User= root
# Group=sys
# Realm=eagle.prod.telia.dk
#

user:micpe:crwit
host:falcon.prod.telia.dk:crwit
user:micpe@falcon.prod.telia.dk:crwit
user:root@falcon.prod.telia.dk:crwit
any_other:crwit

Can any one tell what the SWACL should look on the remote node to be able to push out new software. ?

Shalom,

I'm not certain swacl is an issue here.

There may be hostname limitations on the NFS share point for the images that cause this. I'd check those first.

logon to "eagle" server and run getacl command against it to check ACL information. You can add your id using setacl command.

You need to add "root@falcon" on to ACL's list for "eagle" using setacl. look man page for setacl.

You need to configure swacl on falcon (the depot source server) to grant access to eagle(?).

on falcon, run swacl -l host and see if

user:micpe@eagle.prod.telia.dk:crwit
user:root@eagle.prod.telia.dk:crwit

are configured.

hi again.

I have tried to configure the swacl as you said, but still the same error. Here are how my swacl looks on both hosts

micpe@falcon[ /home/micpe ]>s swacl -l host

Check /var/adm/sw/swagent.log and swagentd.log on both servers and see if you can find some errors there.

Hi Yang

I have checked on falcon no errors, on eagle the client I get det following from the swagentd.log

ERROR: Access denied. The user does not have the necessary (w)rite or
(i)nsert permission for the target "/". Please modify your
permissions using the "swacl" command. pid=2117 10/19/06

Hi Michael,

check for wrong entries in hosts file for that server. Also reload swagent (/usr/sbin/swagentd -r).

ivan

Which user your logged on with on eagle? root, or micpe? run swinstall without any option on eagle, do you also have error?

Hi Guys...

Thanks for the replies, I have tried restarting swagent, and I can install the product without any errors if I from eagle do a manual install either from command line or interactive.

You must be root to install Ignite. You can't change this requirement by modifying swacl.

=====================
You need to assign permissions to user from which you want to kick off. Also, user should have root privilages to install any software on the server.
