SD-UX problem

[Ravikanth_2]

Hi all,

I have HP-UX 10.20 box.Now i want to install some paches on that box by using tape.When i am using "SWINSTALL" command i am getting the following error

" The default source "/var/spool/sw" does not exist or is not a valid source and there no other registered depots on (hostname)
therfore,the default tape path will be automatically supplied in the source seclection dialog instead of the default depot path".
And after if i say ok,if i select the tape i am getting one more message as follows

"hostname:/dev/rmt/0m": you do not have the required permissions to perform this SD operation.Please check to see that you have the required permissions using the "swacl" command or see your system administrator for assistance.

Can any body advice for the above problem.

Thanks

Dear Manikandan,

Thank you very much for your advice.

Its working,my problem got rectified.And i could able to install the software from tape.
Please can you please explain me how it could works.

swagentd is the daemon which takes care of the SD operations.

This daemon should be restarted on any changes of the local /etc/hosts file.

Should have been some changes with the file and the daemon was not re-started.

Also you need to specify the right source of the depot file,that can be done using the -s option of swinstall.
