SD_UX error

Azaru — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:02:10 GMT

Hi,

I have problem with sd commands. Please help me.

# swlist
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "Eclear"...
ERROR: Could not contact host "Eclear" because of an invalid protocol
sequence. Protocol sequences are specified with the "-x
rpc_binding_info" option. Make sure this option is specified
correctly.
ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is Eclear:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).

Regards

Shalom azaru,

What is /etc/nsswitch.conf

It needs to be there for sd-ux to work.

What does the file say:
/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log

/sbin/init.d/swagentd -r

Hi Azaru,

Make sure the host name is correct.
/usr/sbin/swagentd -r
# more /var/adm/sw/swagentd.log

a) Verify your dns entries for ip and hostname

nslookup hostname
nslookup ip

b) check you sd-ux up to date patches. for 11.11 PHCO_35587 & PHC)_35291 refer to your error.

what version of hp-ux are you?

go to this link and search on 'rpc_binding_info'

Hi:

Did you specify a value for '-x rpc_binding_info'? The valid values are 'ncacn_ip_tcp:[2121]' or 'ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]'.

Perhaps you have modified the '/var/adm/sw/defaults' and specified it there or in '${HOME}/.swdefaults'

Regards!

grep rpc_binding_info /var/adm/sw/defaults|grep -v ^#

uncomment the entries for the rpc_binding_info and restart the swagentd

rgds.

Hi All,

I have put the entry in $HOME/.sw/defaults file as

"rpc_binding_info=ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]"

It works fine now.

Thanks for ur valid answers.
