Ignite / swacl problem

Richard J Harper — Thu, 28 May 2009 12:34:16 GMT

I am getting the following error when I try to run an ignite backup from an 11.11 host to an 11.31 host:

* Checking Versions of Recovery Tools
ERROR: Cannot retrieve Ignite-UX version from server "ignserv".
ERROR: Retrieving Ignite-UX version on the server: ignserv failed.

======= 05/28/09 13:22:17 GMT make_net_recovery completed unsuccessfully

I have intentionally blocked tftp on the firewall, so the swagent should be used to find the ignite version instead.

I have locked down nfs and swagent to use set ports and the only thing being blocked by the firewall is tftp, so I am convinced this is not a firewall problem.

When I attempt to list the software on the ignite server from the client server I get the following error:

# swlist -l product @ ignserv
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "ignserv"...
ERROR: "ignserv:/": You do not have the required permissions to
select this target. Check permissions using the "swacl"
command or see your system administrator for assistance. Or,
to manage applications designed and packaged for nonprivileged
mode, see the "run_as_superuser" option in the "sd" man page.
ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is
ignserv:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).

I need to open up the swacl list to allow for a root user on another machine to perform a "swlist -l product @ nodename" command.

What is the swacl command I need to execute to open up the remote swlist command?

thanks in advance,

Richard

Hi,

On ignite server

check the acl permission by

swacl -l host

normally ill have an entry like

any_other:-r---

if not it is not there then create an entry in the host acl by
swacl â l host â M any_other:r----

and restart the swagentd by
swagentd -r

If you need to add an entry for a user

/usr/sbin/swacl -l host -M user:username@hostname:r---

I seem to have solved the problem by running:

swacl -M any_other:r -l root

cheers for your help
