errors while doing 'swlist'

[Sunil Kumar K.U.]

Hello all,

I'm facing a strange problem on a HP9000/D390 server running HPUX 10.20. When I do a 'swlist' none of the installed products are listed and the below messages scrolls on the screen.

WARNING: Ignoring unknown keyword 'supercedd' at line...
WARNING: Ingnoring unknown keyword 'configured' at line...
..............................
..............................
..............................

The normal operation of the server is not affected and I'm able to run other commands. Also when I do a 'swinstall' it takes very long to come to the install menu.

What can be wrong? Thanks in advence for all the replies.

regards
Sunil Kumar K.U.

Hi sunil,

Looks like you SD tools files have got corrupted. You should install the latest SD patch. The latest SD Patch for 10.20 is PHCO_25316

http://us-support2.external.hp.com/wpsl/bin/doc.pl/screen=wpslDisplayPatch/sid=3fae48d01375599ecf?PACH_NAM=PHCO_25316&HW=s800&OS=10.20

If this doesn't have reinstall the sd filesets from the core OS CD and patch it.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I think your

/var/adm/sw/products/INDEX file has become corrupt.

Try
1)mv /var/adm/sw/products/INDEX /var/adm/sw/products/INDEX.old
2)reinstall a patch. ( Choose a patch without reboot)
/var/adm/sw/swinstall.log to see last patches installed.do not forget to set reinstall = true
[reinstall filesets even if same revision exists] in options menu.
Good patch is patch cleanup utility
This will remake the index
3)swconfig \* [ Ensures all filesets are configured ]
4)swlist -l fileset -a state to check 3
5)swlist to see if the problem is gone.
