A problem about swinstall

[Wang,MinJie]

Hi all
I've got a problem
When I run swinstall and invoke a interactive interface,it always asks me to "select target"
Well, as I knew before it'll automatically select local host root directory as its target by default
So is any thing wrong with my server?

This may be due to bad name resolution.
Check this first.
You may also try to restart the swagentd.
/usr/sbin/swagentd -r

Hey Torsten
I'm afraid my hostname resolution isn't a problem
When I run "#nslookup l2k-02"(which is its hostname)
it output the correct ip address
and I've tried the swagentd -r and it doesn't work.
Any advice?
Thx in advance

Even if your nslookup gives correct information it still can be some kind of name resolution problem.
Check the following files :
/etc/hosts
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

To restart swagentd you can also try to kill it first :
ps -ef|grep swagentd
kill -9
swagentd

Shalom,

From past expereience running through the files in the prior post and restarting swagentd normally solves this problem.

Or just change the target, maybe the last person that did an installation made a mistake.
