SD-UX Problem...on 10.20

[Kevin_107]

I am trying a swinstall -s /xxx/xxx \* but I am getting "The operation you have attempted is only allowed
on target machines which have HP OpenView Software Distributor
installed. To perform this operation, first run the HP
OpenView Software distributor pushAgent(1m).
* Target connection failed for "unix1:/".

So I tried running pushAgent and reseived message "unsupported OS version" ?!?! Any ideas please

What version of ignite are you using?

The newest can be found here:
http://www.software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html

Also, do you have the last patch bundle installed?

This is due to
1. hostname resolution problems.
check whether is machine is able to resolve
#nslookup
If you are not using DNS then check your local /etc/hosts file for proper entries.


2.Try restarting your swagentd
swagentd -r

I am in the process of cold installing 11. so I download Ignite and the pax patch. And now Im trying to do a swinstall...

I have done a nslookup here is the output hostname is unix1 and IP for machine is 192.168.3.22

# nslookup unix1
Name Server: bdcviatel02.viatel.com
Address: 192.168.3.95

Name: unix1.viatel.com
Address: 192.168.3.22

Hosts file looks like this:


192.168.3.22 unix1
135.196.66.22 unix1 unix10
#192.168.3.62 gate62
#192.168.3.25 unix1_default
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

Kevin,

Your hosts file appears to have to entries for unix1:

192.168.3.22 unix1
135.196.66.22 unix1 unix10

I think that might be a problem.

well when I did a pushAgent I specified the actual IP address and it still didnt like it...Ive just tried..

# nslookup
Default Name Server: bdcviatel02.viatel.com
Address: 192.168.3.95

> server 192.168.3.95
Default Name Server: bdcviatel02.viatel.com
Address: 192.168.3.95

> unix1
Name Server: bdcviatel02.viatel.com
Address: 192.168.3.95

Name: unix1.viatel.com
Address: 192.168.3.22

> 192.168.3.22
Name Server: bdcviatel02.viatel.com
Address: 192.168.3.95

*** bdcviatel02.viatel.com can't find 192.168.3.22: Non-existent domain
>
So its obviously not resolving the IP...how do I get round this ?!?!

Kevin,

What does your hosts entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf look like?
