It there a way to remove SAM, or at least the swinstall GUI ?
I'm having some issues when trying to install software using the 'swinstall' GUI , simply I cannot change the source to another one, if I try the CLI I'm able to install software locally, remotelly, or whatever!!, but for some reason I'm not able to do it using the swinstall GUI.
I tried to install the lastest patches for SD-UX and SAM, check for software corruption, I ran the swconfig \*, etc, all the software seems to be ok but I cannot change the source, in the target list I got only my local host, and I'm not able to make any other changes.
Thank you very much, I would appreciate your help with this, maybe this could be reinstalled or something similar ...
Best regards,
Marc'o

SolutionI don't think removing SAM will prevent you from running swinstall.
As for running swinstall in text or batch mode rather than GUI mode it is the same binaries. The mode is controlled by the "DISPLAY" variable. If the "DISPLAY" variable is unset, the swinstall/swremove will run in text mode.
You could write two-line scripts for each command that do
unset DISPLAY
swinstall
Not sure what your problem is but I would look further to find the cause of it.

Re: SAM removal / swinstall GUI
/var/adm/sw/*.log
Also, paste in the window where your stuck as well as the results of these commands:
swacl -l depot
swacl -l host
swlist -s depot
And verify that your hostname is everywhere that it should be:
Check your hostname in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
/etc/hosts
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
DNS servers if used are in
/etc/resolv.conf
Search order for name resolution if used in
/etc/nsswitch.conf
Make sure information in all those files is correct.

Re: SAM removal / swinstall GUI
No need to remove it. If it doesn't work, use the command line instead.
>simply I cannot change the source to another one
Why can't you? The choice is grayed out?
Note: You can always specify the source on the command line with the -s option, then go into the GUI.

Re: SAM removal / swinstall GUI
In addition, I'm able to use the command line, but just want to try to fix this little issue.
For example, I do know that I could start the GUI and use the 's' flag to specify the source, the problem is that without taking care of that, the GUI just start with the default source, not the one that I'm putting in the line.
Note. : Installations from the CLI are good, no problems found at this level.
Regards,
Marc'o

Re: SAM removal / swinstall GUI
For some reason the /var/adm/sw/.sdkey was not in place and was not able to locate the right option to start the source selection, I select the target and then select "Mark for install" & "Show software for selection" , then I receive the little window requesting me to change the source.
Thanks for your help, this has been resolved.
