Do a

# swagentd -r

and then check

Also check that the nslookup to the host works fine

# nslookup chflbm23

Also in /etc/nsswitch.conf file entry should be files first

hosts: files dns

If nsswitch.conf files does not exist, copy it from

# cp /etc/nsswitch.files /etc/nsswitch.conf
# swagentd -r

Please assign points

first thing to try would be to restart swagentd and then try again:

swagentd -r


Also look in the mentioned log:

/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log

Hi Swaraj,

Did you check the /etc/hosts entry of your server.

Try restarting the swagentd daemon and execute swremove again.

Thanks & Regards

# nslookup chflbm23
