Hi,
I have installed an hp-ux 11iv2 on rp5470 server. I was trying to swinstall a patch depot as root but got the following error:

What could cause such errors?

Hi:

The first thing to try is restart the 'swagentd' daemon:

# swagentd -r

Make sure that your server's hostname ia present and correct in '/etc/hosts' and that a reverse name lookup with DNS can be achieved.

Regards!

Thanks it worked after restart.
