"A Remote Procedure Call to a daemon has failes, Could not start a management
session for "hpk360" Make sure the hosts is accessible from the network, and
that its daemon swagentd is running"

hpk360 is the hostname, and is accessible from the network , AND the daemon
"swagentd" is running, I probe, stopping and starting this daemon, so reboot
the server, also I used the swgettools utility and the problem stay, , What
Can I do?

Hi,

Have you already checked your /etc/rc.log file? Did you find any errors in
there pointing at the RPC server or swagentd? Or /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log ?
No errors?

Are you doing an swinstall over the network? If so, try recycling swagentd on
both boxes via swagentd -r. Also make sure that neither system is running
glance or measureware at the time of the install.

If you are trying to do a local install then this error is indicative of not
being able to resolve your own hostname correctly. Swinstall thinks that this
install is remote because it does not associtate your hostname with a local
interface. Compare the output of the following:
# nslookup
The is the IP associated with your hostname, if you have multiple
interfaces.
# hostname
If the outputs of the hostname command and the nslookup of your IP are not
IDENTICAL, then that is the problem. You will need to correct your name
resolution (DNS, NIS, or /etc/hosts) so that they match up IDENTICALLY.

Make sure that loopback is configured on your machine.
