# Initializing...
# Contacting target "vantive"...
ERROR: Could not contact host "vantive". Make sure the hostname is
correct and an absolute pathname is specified (beginning with
"/").
ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is vantive:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).
Other thing, when i try to use sam it prompts an error message. Error Message in the attachment.

SolutionIs vantive the server on which you are installing oracle.
If so check:
# hostname
This should return vantive as name.
Check /etc/host for correct entry of "vantive", see if any control character are present in the file. If you doubt, try recreating /etc/hosts file.
Hope that helps.

Re: Installation of Oracle
I think this error is due to "swagentd" not running ... start it .. there should be a shell script in /sbin/init.d
BTW , I was told by a forumer that oracle is not installed using SD-UX !

Re: Installation of Oracle
Could you check your /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files [notfound=continue] dns
# swagentd -r

Re: Installation of Oracle
Also check the path entered. It has to be absolute path.
I believe this version is not supported by Oracle now.

Re: Installation of Oracle
Do:
#hostname
And tell me what you get?
If it not set (set to NULL) or anothere name that is not the server name do:
#hostname vantive
And as Kapil said you must have swagentd ruunning...

Re: Installation of Oracle
If I remember correctly, 7.3.4 was a curses install script, by the name of orainst. Mount your cd and run the orainst binary from there.

Re: Installation of Oracle
From experience I have always installed Oracle using the runInstaller on the Oracle supplied CD & not via swinstall.
Check the Oracle installation documentation for mounting Oracle supplied CD.
