RPC exception: "Communications failure (dce / rpc)" problem

[Brando Sumayao]

I was installing patch PHSS_25788 and I got the ff error:

======= 04/25/02 15:20:48 PDT BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=ora3-mtf-0011)

* Session started for user "root@ora3-mtf".

ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this

Can anyone tell me please what I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Hi:

Try restarting the 'swagentd' daemon:

# /usr/sbin/swagentd -r

This could be a problem with Measureware. Do this,

mwa stop
swagent -r
mwa start

hi,
is the rpcd daemon running ?.
#ps -ef| grep rpcd

if not
#rpcd
try installation again

Hi,

James R. Ferguson is right. SD daemon is not running. Run /usr/sbin/swagentd to start it.
