swinstall fails after IP address change

[Andy Bustamante]

I have an HP-UX 11.23 Integrity server. swinstall fails with:


servername.domain.edu:/home/my_user/HP/krb5upd.depot": You do not have permission for this operation. The depot owner, system administrator, or alternate root owner may need to use the "swreg" or "swacl" command to give you permission. Or, to manage applications designed and packaged for nonprivileged mode, see the "run_as_superuser" option in the "sd" man page. ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this target (default location is rx3000.ucsd.edu:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).

The swagentd.log references use the previous IP address, the IP address was changed in Feb 2010. I've looked at swreg and the default files but don't see where the host name is stored.

I'm running swinstall on the same node as the target and depot.

swagent caches the hostname and IP address when it starts. Just restart swagentd to update it:

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