Help with Software Installation

[Manjunath Shastry]

Greetings Gurus,

I am tring to install IP Filters on HP-UX 11i, I have been unsuccessful so far. When I execute the command swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s HOSTNAME:/tmp/B9901AA.depot, as Root I get the following error message

You do not have the required permissions to perform this operation. Check permissions using the swacl command. To manage applications designed and packaged for nonprivileged mode see the "run_as_superuser" option in the "sd" man page.

I don 't have a clue as what to do next, would appreciate your help.

Regards,
Manju.

One quick solution would be restarting the swagent daemon:

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

Restart swagent daemon by
/usr/sbin/swagentd -r and then try reinstalling the software

I assume that your were running this as root, weren't you?

If so, try stopping and restarting swagentd:

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

Manju,
This may be a problem with swagentd. Try restarting swagentd.

Manju,

Is it true that the patch is on a REMOTE server?

Are you running as root? If not then retry the command as root since a normal user does not have the privilege to run swinstall.

Hi:

If you are doing a remote installation, you might try a local one. You could also try restarting the 'swagentd' daemon:

# swagentd -r

The addition of hostnames to the local 'etc/hosts' file in lieu of using DNS (if you are) may also be beneficial.

Regards!
