check using nslookup that hostname resolution is working OK for all systems involved here !

edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to use files first if need be

If that's all OK try killing and restarting swagentd.

Hi Bossuyt,

1. If you are not using DNS for name resolv then edit /etc/host file like this
127.0.0.1 your_system_name loopback
ip_address your_system_name

Rebooot and it will work.

2. If you are using DNS.
check nsswitch.conf
check resolv.conf
nslookup should return correct address.
check gatware route
check netmast

My suggestion: Change nsswitch.conf to look first files then dns. change the /etc/hosts as I mention before and 100% it works. I had same problem with three B132 last week.

Hi!

try to set the option:

all targets to resolve source locally

Good luck!

Hello,

could it be your command line looks more like this:

swinstall -s source:/depot ... @ /

then like this:

swinstall -s source:/depot ...

i.e. you have specified a "target"? Then "swinstall"
usually believes you want to push install something
to another station, but on HPUX only "pull" installs are
permitted.

Hello,
Just check whether you are installing the client or agent using the swinstall.
Most of the HP openview products push software from the server to its clients.they do not use
swinstall on the client.

Hi

I have had this exact problem on a D and H class in the last week. Examination of the systems revealed that the nsswitch.conf file was actually missing ???. I created one stopped and started the swagentd and lo and behold the problem went away. I think whats happening is the host cant resolve its own name.
