Problem with swinstall

Marko_3 — Mon, 22 Jan 2001 05:22:51 GMT

Dear all

I am trying to install jetadmin software using the 'swinstall' command but was unable to do so due to permission problems with regard to 'swacl'.

What can I do to overcome this problem?

Thanks

try the looking up the following ITRC DOC :

KBRC00000273 When running swinstall or any Software Distributor operation, receiving permission errors:

You do not have the required permissions to select this target. Please check to see that you
have the required permissions using the "swacl" command .......

I had the same problem last Sunday trying to apply an hp
patch cluster to my K570.
It turned out to be that the `hostname` ip address swinstall was trying to reach (as a software depot) was down. Even if you are installing locally, swinstall seems to use the network to install onto himself.
Check to make sure that your `hostname` is pingable.

Usually when I run into this problem I try a couple things,
First I stop and restart swagentd, then I make sure my depot is properly registered (swreg -l depot ).
Then if all else fails I see what else on this thread might apply:

Where are you trying to install jet admin from?
if it is from cd or tape, it is easier to do from the same server
the best way i've seen to do it remotely is to set it up in a depot
i beleive in the above replies they give links to the procedures for that

But anyway, with more info on where and how your installing the software would be helpfull
