swinstall error

[Eddie Salvatierra]

Hi

I am attempting to install a patch and when I run swinstall to preview I get this error:

# swinstall -p autoreboot=false -x patch_match_target=true -s /var/tmp/PHCO_39173.depot

======= 09/29/09 12:12:34 NZST BEGIN swinstall SESSION

======= 09/29/09 12:12:35 NZST END swinstall SESSION

Any suggestions to fix this?

Assuming you are root when running this command, it would appear that a networking change may have taken place (/etc/hosts, DNS, order of alias names, etc). Restart swagentd:

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

Hi

Sort of fixed the initial issue ..Then run swinstall and it just hangs at analyzing the targets..

the log states this:

09/29/09 14:42:00 NZST BEGIN source AGENT SESSION (pid=11357)
* Agent session started for user "root@hr2966". (pid=11357)
ERROR: This Agent session lost the RPC connection to the Controller
or Target Agent that initiated the session. RPC runtime
detected this lost connection. The session is being shut
down. (pid=11357)
* 09/29/09 15:00:00 NZST END source AGENT SESSION (pid=11357)

Hi,

Target connection succeeded for "HR2951:/".

Agent session started for user "root@hr2966". (pid=11357)

Did you start both swinstall sessions on the same host?
HR2951 + hr2966

Sorry hr2951 swinstall worked.

hr2966 is now the issue.
