swinstall failing

[Nick D'Angelo]

All,

When I try to run swinstall, the following error is reported in the /var/adm/sw/swagent.log:

The /lib directory is on a mounted volume. Cannot install software unless the /lib is on the root volume.

This is a new server, installed by HP and this is the first swinstall that I have run. I am trying to install jetadmin HP10d621.SD.

It is an R class server with 10.20. and ample disk space.

Suggestions??

Hi Nick:

KB document #S3100000578 notes that your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file should specify the OPERATING_SYSTEM variable to be set to HP-UX. Modify it thusly:

OPERATING_SYSTEM=HP-UX

Hello,

I agree with James suggestions...

easy way to test it is to run uname -a and see what OS it reports, but you should be doing fine once you fix the netconf file

Worked like a charm.

You would think that HP would have set this for me upon installation and configuration of the O/S.

Thanks.
