This target or source is already in use

Hi,

I want to install java1.5 from a .depot file.
in SAM I am getting the following message as soon as I select the target path. Please suggest.

"banpchp2:/": This target or source is already in use either within
this same session or by another session. A read or write lock was
denied.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi GnanaShekar,

Is there an other sw session running ?

# ps -ef | grep sw

# swinstall -s -s /path_to_dopot/name.depot \*

Hi,

Try to restart swagentd by,

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

After stopping the swagent ensure that the file /var/adm/sw/products/swlock has been removed.
Then start up the swagent.
