unable to swinstall from my depot

[David Yates_2]

I have been getting an "unable to connect" error when attempting to install from a depot on another server. Both servers are HPUX 11.0 and are on the same subnet. I can ping the depot server from the first box. I have also stopped and re-started the swagentd on both servers. Any ideas????

[Mark Grant]

Can you ping the box from the depot server too?

[David Yates_2]

Yes, I can ping both ways. Network connection does not appear to be the problem.

Is there anything in the /var/adm/sw/*.logs that point to maybe a problem?

I can't really test it, but is it dependant on rpcd running?

[David Yates_2]

Unfortunately, no. It only shows where I have cancelled the sessions when I couldn't connect.

Hi David,

BOTH hosts must be name resolvable for SD to permit remote installs.
Also the depot *must* be registered on the remote system using the swreg command for the remote client to see it.

HTH,

Hi,

Did you start the swagentd like this?
/usr/sbin/swagentd -r

I killed the swagentd with -k, but restarted it with no flags. Also, this depot that I'm trying to install from has been registered. I have been able to install to other hosts with no difficulty.

Hi,

could you restart with the -r flag.

Hi David,

Restart swagentd on *both* systems.

I restarted the swagentd with the -r flag and there is no change in the results.
