Error in running swinstall

Hi

I am trying to install a package on DRD image but drd runcmd swinstall is failing giving out the following error

When I install the package on the active system image it installs without any problems.

Any idea what is happening, Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Hi Srikrishan,

Can you register the depot and try to install?

#swreg -l depot

Hi,

I suggest to try to restart swagentd (/sbin/init.d/swagentd restart).
This works for me in some situations! Just try it!

What software is it and what is your command line?

No, It didn't help. Actually in case of DRD installs a different(new) swagentd is started

>What software is it and what is your command line?

drd runcmd swinstall -s /tmp VRTSsfmh.

Is the /tmp directory really a registered depot or do you have another depot file?

Did you try to just list the contents?

swlist -s /tmp

Re: Error in running swinstall

Yes, /tmp has the software and swlist @/tmp shows that the package is actually there.

The first thing I am going to do tomorrow is to check whether any other software can be installed on an inactive image.

Couldn't wait till morning

tried to install another software from a remote server and it succeeded.

Not sure what is the problem with this one. :-(

> tried to install another software from a remote server and it succeeded.

When I swcopied the same software to local machine and tried installing it on inactive image it failed with same error. This means that there is no problem with s/w being installed.

can anybody post the arguments to swacl to give every user all the rights to install a software kept in /tmp.

I tried this without success. :-(

bash-3.2# swacl -l product -M any_other:any_other@habhpth9:crwit \* @/tmp
ERROR: There is no
"VRTSsfmh,r=2.0.40.0,a=HP-UX_B.11.23_IA/PA,v=Symantec" ACL at
"habhpth9:/tmp". The object is, or is part of, a read-only
depot.
bash-3.2#

Thanks

Hi

Try making the same depot in other dirctory say /var/test and execute the swinstall from there.
