create depot script fails

[Shawn Miller_2]

When I run create_depot_hp-ux_11 script it fails. The swagentd.log shows error, access denied to root@10.2.3.1 to start copy agent. This IP used to be for a heartbeat on a cluster. The cluster has been removed a while ago and the NIC that had 10.2.3.1 is no longer configured. Any suggestions on how to fix this. Not sure why swinstall is even trying this 'dead' ip to create a local depot.

Hi


Its a cached entry

Restart the swagent daemon with "/usr/sbin/swagentd -r"

Hi,

Is swlist working?

Try

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

The advised that it was a cached entry was correct. Thanks.

Oooh I think I know the answer.

swagentd is not nsswitch aware, it always looks in /etc/hosts to match the hostname to IP. That old address is probabably still in there with the hostname, preceding the line that defines the hostname to primary IP.
