sam not working

senthil_3 — Thu, 31 Oct 2002 05:53:26 GMT

Hi I installed HP-UX 11.0 Quality Pack (QPK1100) -- September 2002 Pack. After that sam is not working and whenever I try to run sam, it gives following error message :
"A SAM internal error has occured. Additional information regarding this error has been logged to SAM log file (/var/sam/log/samlog). Contact your HP representative and provide them with the contents of the log file so that an appropriate resolution can be found."

Can anyone help ?

Hi,

This looks like software not configured correctly.

Can you check with:

swlist -l fileset -a state if all filesets are configured.

If some filesets are not do swconfig \*
to configure them.

Just do a to check whether any of the patches are unconfigured.
# swlist -l fileset -a state|grep -v -i -e configured -e \#

to configure the unconfigured patches enter.

# swconfig

Thanks

Hi,

I think swagentd is not running.
restart with:

# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

Hi
Is "swagentd" running?

This is a typical error.

Hi,

What where the steps you took ?

I guess first restart swagentd and then swconfig.

If so: during patch installation for some reason swagentd did not restart and that's why the swconfig failed during boot.

Check /etc/rc.log for reasons why swagentd was not started.

Maybe another reboot will show you if everything is working fine now.
Check after the reboot if swagentd is running.
