I’ve just been through another frustrating battle with swinstall and wanted a complete what to check list in the event that it won’t install software:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check that system ip address (ifconfig lan#) is the same as defined in \/etc\/hosts . If this is not consistent, swinstall will not work and the error message is far from meaningful.<\/li>\n
  2. Check that \/etc\/nsswitch.conf exists. After a clean install it does not exist and needs to be put in place.<\/li>\n
  3. Check that nfs is working correctly for nfs based install. Bounce nfs.client,nfs.server,nfs.core in that order to stop reverse order to start ex \/sbin\/init.d\/nfs.core <start\/stop><\/li>\n
  4. Use showmount -e <remotehost> to insure connectivity to remote depots.<\/li>\n
  5. swlist -l depot -s <remote host depot><\/li>\n
  6. swreg -d depot $PWD on remote host after cd to depot. Remember in many scenarios remote depots in tape format will not install.<\/li>\n
  7. \/usr\/sbin\/swagentd -r (Should be taken after any of the above corrective steps).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
