swinstall & ACL's

[Tim Rotunda]

I am trying run swinstall on an 11.0 server that I setup and use as a web server test bed. When I run swinstall, I get the following error:
You do not have the required permissions to perform this SD Please check to see that you have the required permissions using the "swacl" command or see your system administrator for assistance.

So I run ?swacl ?l host? and I get this error:

An unexpected error occurred while performing the requested operation on the "host" ACL at "web1:/". This is probably the result of a failed Remote Procedure Call to a daemon, a failure in the SD ACL manager, or the improper removal of the ACL. If this problem persists, contact your system administrator.

I don?t knowingly do anything with ACL?s especially remove them. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
TR.a

A recent thread discussed this problem. See: http://my1.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,1150,0xc5ed6c96588ad4118fef0090279cd0f9,00.html

Have you made any changes to the network configuration on theis server?

swinstall needs to be able to resolve it's own hostname. Can you ping/telnet localhost and web1?

First thing I usually do is to stop then restart the swagentd:

/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Then retry swinstall.....

If that doesn't work...just let us know and we'll suggest more..
