HPUX 11iv2 PARISC 3410

Hi all.

I'm trying to run patch assessment on a new 11iv2 system. When I run swainv on my system I get
ERROR: The swlist command has failed on alacarte
I can run swlist at the command line.
I stop/started swagentd. No luck. Any ideas?

TIA

Hi,

try to check the computer's hostname name resolution:
nslookup hostname
and
nslookup IP-Address

Vic,

Works fine, forward and reverse.

Shalom,

Make sure there is a valid /etc/nsswitch.conf is present and makes sense.

/sbin/inti.d/swagentd -R

I think that I figured this one out. The host name is longer than 8 characters. uname truncates hostname after 8 characters. swainv uses uname. I reset the hostname to something less than 8, and retried. Works! Thanks to all.
