Hi Gentlmen,

I have problem on HP-UX rp2470 B.11.11 U 9000/800. when i type command swlist i got output as follows:

ERROR: Could not contact host "rttsapp". Make sure the hostname is
correct and an absolute pathname is specified (beginning with
"/").
ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is rttsapp:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log)

Regards,
Faisal M.

First steps you should do
- check name resolution
(# hostname
# nslookup (result of hostname)

- restart swagentd
# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

check this also.
# more /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

hi faisall ;
your hostname is rttsapp

look at /etc/fstab , it should contain rttsapp entry with correct ip address.

>>>ook at /etc/fstab , it should contain rttsapp entry with correct ip address.

Do you mean /etc/hosts..

/etc/fstab has nothing to do with hostnames.

this error is caused that the rttsapp and corospondening IP adress is not corectly in the hostfile ore that the network is down.

please post:
grep rttsapp /etc/hosts
netstat -in
lanscan
so we can check the network.

ps workarount is ad the folowing line in top of the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback rttsapp
