Need to use swconfig to unconfigure/configure SystemAdmin

[Reggie Chang]

When I was in SAM (SAM->'disk & file system'->
'file system' to be exact), I got the error
message like:

Task "NNC_GET_INSTALL_STATUS" could not be
found. The SAM Task Registration database
containing the definition of this task is
missing or corrupt, or the fileset containing
this task has not been loaded. To generate
the SAM Task Registration database, please use
swconfig (1M) to unconfigure and then configure
the "SystemAdmin" product.

I checked manual page of swcofig but the
explanation is not clear.

Does anyone get the idea?

Best regards,

Reggie

Hi Reggie,

you can reinstall the SAM/OBAM filesets from the core OS CD. you can install it over the old fileset by selecting to reinstall even if the same fileset exist option under the options in the swinstall interactive window.

Hope this helps.

Have you run this ..

# swconfig SystemAdmin

if you have and it says something like "filesets already configured" then try this ..

# cd /etc
# mv sam sam.corrupt
# cd /usr/newconfig
# find sam | cpio -pdumx /etc

Make sure ownership of sam dir is bin:bin and permission 555.

Really appreciate the responses. I tried to do what you folks said but did not quite work out.

for Sanjay:
When I run swinstall with the
CD, it failed at the command
/usr/sbin/mk_kernal which needs to be executed by swinstall without failure.

for S.K.:
While using swconfig, analysis part skipped SAM (and others) due to errors. Therefore SAM is not reconfigured at all.


Since I tried to modify the
kernel parameters with similar
error message, I'm going to
post another question about it. I also feel that there is something wrong with our machine.

Thank you again.

What's the output of ..

# swlist -l fileset|grep -i sam

F.I.Y.
