Re: new software installation

Simon,
have you got a line like (should be there):
127.0.0.1 localhost
in /etc/hosts and do you use the hosts file to resolve addresses at some stage?

Hi Simon:

Make sure that your hostname is defined correctly in '/etc/hosts' and that there are not duplicate entries for it.

Simon,

Please make sure your loopback address and local host address are set properly.

Regards,

Jaime.

Re: new software installation

Simon,
as an alternative solution (untested):
enable the option on swinstall "All targets to resolve the source locally"

You may also have to restart swagentd.

Re: new software installation

OK, I am using /etc/hosts for name resolution, My unix system has 2 network cards thus 2 IP addresses and i edited my /etc/hosts file as:

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
x.x.x.x hostname
x.x.x.x1 hostname

where the x.x.x.x is my first IP and the second one is my 2nd IP.

now i am getting the errors attached.

Re: new software installation

Hi Simon:

Modify '/etc/hosts' to declare unique hostnames for the two addresses:

x.x.x.x hostname
x.x.x.x1 hostname1

Re: new software installation

Are your addresses for

x.x.x.x hostname
x.x.x.x1 hostname

in the same subnet?

Try to change it like this:

x.x.x.x hostname
y.y.y.y another_alias_name

Then check the name resolution:
hostname
nslookup

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
