SD-UX commands timeout / delay

[compiler]

Hi.

When I run sw* commands on an HP-UX 11.23 machine, it takes a lot of seconds before answering...

Example:

[root@hpux2]$ timex swlist -l depot
# Initializing...
(takes a long time here)
# Target "hpux2" has the following depot(s):
/patches/depot

real 30.12
user 0.01
sys 0.01

Is any kind of resolution problem? :?

I can ping my hostname, it appears in /etc/hosts, but It takes a lot of seconds to answer. swinstall and swcopy also takes a lot to answer.

I have another similar machine that does not present those problems.

Ideas?

PS: In case it could be the cause, today I stopped the NFS client and NFS server daemons. rpcbind and /opt/dce/sbin/rpcd are loaded in memory. I give this note because running tusc against the swlist reported some info about RPC ... :?

Shalom,

The NFS restart will effect depots hosted on remote NFS servers.

/sbin/init.d/swagentd -r

It might be as simple as restarting the daemon.

Is there a /etc/nsswitch.conf

swreg -l depot for registering an NFS depot.
