swacl problem

madhavabk — Thu, 23 Feb 2006 23:56:26 GMT

# swacl -l product \*
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "nesar07" at
location "/var/spool/sw". Make sure that an absolute pathname
is specified for location (beginning with "/").
* Target connection failed for "nesar07:/var/spool/sw".
ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is
nesar07:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).

Will this affect installation of any product that depends on already installed products on the machine?

Because patches are not getting installed on this mahcine with error base filesets are not found.

But i can do swlist for such filesets which are installed on the machine.

This is very urgent.

Thanks,
Madhava

Hi Madhava,

You can resolve this quickly by restarting

/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Also, check your /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf for any mispells.

Hi

swacl -l product
View/modify the ACL protecting the
software product identified by the
software_selection. Applies only to
products in depots, not installed
products in roots. Do you have any depot installed in /var/spool/sw ?

I think you are using wrong format of swacl. Try with swacl man page EXAMPLE part first.

It will give clear view.

PS:
Also look in var/adm/sw/swagentd.log for more detail

Hi Madhava,

I tested the same command on my server, got the same error as you. I dont think this will affect any products or what soever,

myserver / #swacl -l product \*
ERROR: There is currently no depot software on host "myserver" at
location "/var/spool/sw". Make sure that an absolute pathname
is specified for location (beginning with "/").
* Target connection failed for "myserver:/var/spool/sw".
ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is
myserver:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).

What exactly you are trying to do?

Re: swacl problem

Hi RAC,

I am installing a patch created by me on top of the product i have installed.

The installation of patch fails with error base fileset XYZ cannot be located on target.

But when i do swlist XYZ i can see that it is already installed on my target machine.

Hence what could be the problem?

The patch PSF creation i have automated for some products it is working but not for few.

Thanks,
Madhava

Do this:

# swlist -l fileset

How you are trying install the patch with that product. It is good to have the syntax which you are tying and all informations of error you are getting?

## swverify -s should reduce the complexity.

Hi I found solution for the patch installation problem.

It was related to directory keyword value in PSF.

It was not matching with what i had used for the product.

Now patch installation is working fine for me.

Thanks for all of you to help me and share your inputs with me.

Thanks,
Madhava

Found the problem.

It was with directory keyword values mismatch in base product and patch.
