Hi:

Begin by restarting the swagent daemon. Do:

# swagentd -r

Make sure that your server's hostname appears in your '/etc/hosts' along with its fully qualified domain name as an alias.

Regards!

It looks like you are using a relative path to the depot or specifying the depot as would work for swlist. Use a command of the form:

$ swinstall -s /your/path/here/file.depot

yes,

you can do as :-

# swinstall -s

If not succeeded, then try it after restarting the swagentd daemon. But make sure, you must have the your FQDN in the /etc/hosts file.

Dear
check whether the CD rom is properly mounted or not if so it will show error,or if you are trying to install from a non root directory as if /tmp( in which the depot is copied)

restart the swagent daemon and
use swinstall -s name
The above command will start the installation process

you can use SAM also for the same purpose

Prasant,

first try previwing the install rather than direct installs. the preview will let you know if any pre-reqs are needed and if there is a reboot needed.
the preview doesn't install, but always useful to know what it does when you actually install without the -p option

swinstall -p -s /opt/software/your-patch-name PATCH-NAME
