Dear Admins,

Can anyone be kind enough to share with the the document used for fixing/ recreating a corrupted IPD on HPUX 11i.

My swlist is not working and strongly guess my IPD is corrupted

Thanks in advance

Re: IPD Corrupted

The most common reason for swxxxxx commands to fail is bad hostname lookup which might mean that you have a network problem. It's also possible than someone has rm'ed files in /var/adm/sw --- and the very data needed to fix your problem is (or more properly was) located in, you guessed it, var/adm/sw. In any event, because of the nature of your problem, the best option if the IDB is corrupted is to restore from backup.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
