Unable to install depot of patches with Ignite-UX

[HP-UX TIM OSP]

Hello:

I've created a patch depot located at /var/opt/ignite/Patches with 23 patches in it. I ran the make_bundle and make_config commands. I have modified my /var/opt/ignite/INDEX file to include the config file for the bundle and made sure my config file is set to install that bundle.

I had to run swreg and swacl to get Ignite to recognize the depot. However, when it tries to install the depot on the client, it claims the patches are not available. Any clues?

Here's the output:
* Starting swinstall of the source (/var/opt/ignite/Patches).

There appears to be an error in the command line used.

-s10.21.131.18:/var/opt/ignite/Patches

There needs to be a space after the -s

Assuming thats just a cut and paste error, lets look and make sure nfs is running on the target server.

I also use hostname://var/opt/ignite/...

I don't know if thats required.

The ERROR message seems to indicate you are missing a dependency for the software you are installing. When you gathered the patches, did you download all dependencies?

Yes, NFS is running since I am able to build the target with the 11.11 core depot. As you pointed out, the output above is a cut&paste :) It looks like the core depot's output earlier in the file.

Nelson,

Could it be incorrect model string? Just a guess. Take a look:

Actually, it looks like it's a much more fundamental problem. I unregistered the depot, deleted almost everything from /var/opt/ignite/Patches. I need to mention that I have a vxfs FS mounted there as well.

I took one patch, shar'ed it to get the text and depot files. When I ran:

# swcopy -s ${PWD}/PHCO_23492.depot \* @ /var/opt/ignite/Patches

it returned with an error. Here's some info from the logfile:

For every patch depot I try to swcopy, I get the same type of error. Any clues?

Thanks,

I would try the following:

1) Stop rpcbind and nfs daemons
2) Stop swagentd daemon
3) Start rpcbind and nfs daemons
4) Start swagentd daemons

[HP-UX TIM OSP]

Hello:

I figured out the problem.

Per Shiju's email, I restarted the daemons not treuly understanding why I wanted to do that. Then I wondered, "I wonder if when I restart these daemons, it tries to resolve the hostname given to swagentd?" So, I looked in /etc/hosts and noticed that my hostname "torumi40" was tied back to the loopback addy and then later in the file my other "Real" IP. So, I deleteed the "127.0.0.1 torumi40" line, restarted all of the daemons and it worked perfectly!

Thanks for everyone's help!

Thanks,
Nelson
