gui swinstall

Eddie Salvatierra — Wed, 03 Oct 2001 01:10:29 GMT

I am attempting to load patch bundle XSW800HWCR1020(Hardware Enablement and Critical Bundle) from a CDROM that is remote from the target host(HN220). Servers are running 10.20.

I get this error message after selecting the source depot path;
HN223:/SD_CDROM/XSW800HWCR1020 : You donot have the required permissions to perform this SD Operation. Please check to see that you have the required permissions using "swacl".

I have done the following to try and fix the problem;
- Checked /etc/hosts
- Ran nslookup to see if correct IP and hostname came up
- stop/started swagentd

Hints to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

read the man page on swacl.

check all of the files prefixed with an underscore in /var/adm/sw/security.

This will get around the problem for you.

However, it's usually better to find out why these things happen.

It could be an IP change or a resolvable hostname change.

temp move resolv.* out of /etc
swagentd -r -> then try swinstall again

Hope this helps

Is your remote depot (the mountpoint of the CD) registered on the remote host ?

I have seen the same behaviour on my systems with unregistered remote depots.

Try "swreg -l depot " on your remote machine anthen try your swinstall again.

Hello Eddie,

what is the output of your "swacl -l root"?
Being logged in as "root" (or somebody with UID 0)
you could try to execute
swacl -l root -M user:YOU:rwict

Does it work?
Then try the "swinstall" again.

If not, you could try to insert those pemissions into
the file "/var/adm/sw/products/ifiles/_ACL" - this is NOT
supported, of course - with a line like:
user:YOU:0133
and you would have to increase the "num_entries="
value in the first line.

HTH,
Wodisch

Is it possible that the problem lies with the fact that XSW* is a bundle and not a depot. I can't make it work either for DIAGNOSTICS/B.11.00.
A bundle I created on disk works fine however.
