Hi Pratibha,
The message is:

# swinstall -s PHSS_21692.depot
ksh: swinstall: cannot execute

You need to check the execute permissions on the 'swinstall' that is on your $PATH. Try 'whence swinstall' to see which file you are trying to execute, and check the permissions on it. If that's not the answer, you may have an installation problem with swinstall itself.

(It would have been easier for people to help you if you'd just cut and pasted the message into your posting, rather than attaching a .png file.)

Also, have a look at http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1104350 which has just asked the exact same question, albeit for a different patch. There are some pointers there on how to troubleshoot.

Hi Pratibha,

Just chk the swagentd is running with ps command,and try excute the command with the full path swinstall -s /tmp/xx.depot If it didnt work then the problem may be with Depot file try to download it again and try.

Good Luck.

As root did you do:
# /usr/sbin/swinstall -s $PWD/PHSS_21692.depot \*

You might want to try "whence swinstall" to see what you were executing.

And I suppose file(1) on the result of what whence.
