swinstall problem

[Stephen Keane]

I had been using swinstall for a couple of days OK. Then today ...

* Begining Selection
* Target connection succeeded for "foo:/".
ERROR: RPC exception: "Connection closed (dce/rpc)" 07/04/05 14:29:53 BST
ERROR: A Remote Procedure Call to an agent has failed. Could not start a management session for
"foo:/depot_dir/foo.depot". Make sure the host is accessible from the network.
* Source connection failed for
"foo:/depot_dir/foo.depot".
WARNING: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this
target (default location is foo:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).
* Selection had errors

I've changed the host name /depot path top protect the innocent. I've checked the host name / IP using nslookup. I've also checked /etc/hosts and /etc/nsswitch.conf

Attached is swagentd.log

Any clues as to where to start looking?

Try to restart swagentd

/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Did you start the swagent daemon with swagentd -r on the server you want to install.
It looks like the daemon is down.

This is all taking place on the same machine. The software depot is in a local directory. I have rebooted the machine and started/stopped swagentd (as suggested).

It looks like swagentd is coring (SIGNAL 11), but I don't know why. Is there an RPC log somewhere I could consult?

[Mark Nieuwboer]

what does the log /var/adm/sw/swagentd.log say.

Stephan,

Find this from an old forum.

Thanks for that thread. I don't have either glance or measureware running. I will try the rpc_binding flag, though I don't know why I should have to!

[Stephen Keane]

The rpc_binding_info flag made no difference. swagentd is still core dumping SIGSEGV.

See if you have any log in /var/opt/dce/svc files.
