Swlist error

[Jayan Nair]

Hello,

I am getting error while executing swlist.
# swlist
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "HBPTCI02"...
WARNING: Incomplete definition for the root (installation) "/",
beginning at line 0. The following attributes are not
defined:
products the products contained in the root
ERROR: The depot "ptc1250:/" exists but is currently empty.

Kindly advice me on this issue.

Thanks in advance

Jay

Have you fiddled with the IPD?
/var/adm/sw/products/

You are probably going to have to get it back from your ignite backup.

Hi Jayan,

It could be due to INDEX file corruption. Backup your existing configuration, then execute these steps to regenerate the INDEX file:

# cd /var/adm/sw/products
# mv INDEX INDEX.orig
# cd /tmp
# vi void.psf
product
tag void
fileset
tag void
:wq!
# swpackage -s /tmp/void.psf
# swinstall void
# swremove void
# rm void.psf
# swremove -d void

Hello,
I have done all the above steps now getting
# swlist
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "HBPTCI02"...
ERROR: The expected depot or root does not exist at "/".
ERROR: There is currently no installed software on host "ptc1250" at
location "/".

Hi Jay,

Did someone remove the installed products from the /var/adm/sw/products/ directory?

Hi Jayan,

All the product directory exists under /var/adm/sw/products ?

If not you need to restore it from your recent backup.
