swinstall permissions swacl

[D Block 2]

I tryed to do a simple swinstall and received an error about Permissions. What is the cause of this issue ? The swinstall -d flag did work (see below).

swinstall -s /usr/tmp/ldapserver/J4258CA_B.06.21_HPUX_B.11.11_32+64.depot



---------- this window pops up ---------

"ecstst:/usr/tmp/ldapserver/J4258CA_B.06.21_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot
": You do not have the required permissions to perform this
operation. Check permissions using the "swacl" command or see your
system administrator for assistance. Or, to manage applications
designed and packaged for nonprivileged mode, see the
"run_as_superuser" option in the "sd" man page.

also the 2nd' response (2nd' window) from Swinstall is:

The default source
"/usr/tmp/ldapserver/J4258CA_B.06.21_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot" does
not exist or is not a valid source and there are no other registered
depots on ecstst. You can type in the depot path on this host or
choose a different host.

Do a reset of the swagentd daemon

swagentd -r

hi,

restart the swagent daemon

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

regds,

You can list the swacl on the depot:
swacl -l depot @ /usr/tmp/ldapserver/J4258CA_B.06.21_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot

You can verify the contents:
swverify -d @ /usr/tmp/ldapserver/J4258CA_B.06.21_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64.depot

If the swacl looks OK (allows access to root) and the swverify doesn't report any problems, you can try turning on some additional logging:
swinstall -xloglevel=2 -xlogdetail=true -s ...

Hi Tom,

Try this solution from itrc,

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000072497597

the itrc doc id is KBRC00013678.

hope this helps.

thank you all for the responses..

the problem cleared up after I corrected the "hostname" and rebooted the server.

The # hostname command reported a different server name than the expected name from /etc/hosts. I fixed this by removing a duplicate "netconf" file found in /etc/rc.config.d/netconfOLD -- which had the wrong Hostname defined.

problem resolved.

Once I restart the daemon,It worked fine.
